Abstract: The VAD technique is applied to unevenly spaced data obtained with two nearby Doppler weather radars in the optically clear atmosphere. Assuming that the power of higher order harmonies can be neglected, a least-squares ...

Abstract: A survey of shallow (fair weather) cumulus clouds over part of Amazonia yields evidence of enhanced frequency where the forest had been cleared. The survey covers one dry-season month from 1988. It employs a threshold ...

Abstract: The utility of Doppler radar to study boundary-layer kinematics of a weak nonprecipitating cold front in Oklahoma on 16 October 1987 was examined with measurements from two radars. Diagnosis was impeded by operation at low ...

Abstract: An analysis technique to derive wind field parameters from single-Doppler velocity measurements, known as Modified Velocity-Volume Processing (MVVP) is examined from both theoretical and operational perspectives. For this ...

Abstract: Applications of Doppler weather radar data to the analysis of wind fields are reviewed. Radial velocity measurements from a single radar are used to estimate horizontal wind vectors within small azimuthal sectors using two ...

Abstract: Existing techniques for identifying, associating, and tracking storms rely on heuristics and are not transferrable between different types of geospatial images. Yet, with the multitude of remote sensing instruments and the ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of time-varying radar reflectivity during a partial solar eclipse in Oklahoma. The measurements from a radar of 10-cm wavelength, were obtained in the clear-air boundary layer. The reflectivity ...

Abstract: In this note, the relationship between the observed daytime rise in surface radiative temperature, derived from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) sounder clear-sky data, and modeled soil moisture ...

Abstract: The Mississippi River floodplain in the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana presents a readily discernible feature in weather satellite images. This floodplain appears in the spring and early summer ...

Abstract: AbstractTotal lightning data obtained from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) were analyzed to present a first glimpse of relationships with intensity variations and convective evolution in Hurricane Maria (2017). ...
