Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the accuracy of rain rate estimates from data observed with a radar that has alternating horizontal and vertical polarization. Theoretical accuracies of rain rates from the reflectivity, ...

Abstract: Processing of simultaneous measurements of differential polarization parameters (differential reflectivity, ZDR, and differential phase shift, ?DP) and Doppler spectral moments is discussed. It is shown how ZDR and ?DP ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new algorithm for the estimation of spectral parameters from the signal time series, collected using the staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) transmission in a Doppler weather radar, is presented. The ...

Abstract: In the staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) radar, the phase difference between the autocorrelations at lag T1 and T2 is used for velocity estimation. This paper investigates velocity estimates from the autocorrelation ...

Abstract: A procedure to filter the ground clutter from a dual-polarized, staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) sequence and recover the complex spectral coefficients of the weather signal is presented. While magnitude spectra are ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the recovery of Doppler velocities in the presence of range overlaid echoes. Transmitted pulses are phase shifted to tag the echoes from scatterers, which are separated by the unambiguous range. A new ...

Abstract: In this paper a method is presented for separating overlaid echoes in a Doppler weather radar that uses a staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) transmission scheme to mitigate the effects of range?velocity ambiguities. In ...

Abstract: It has been demonstrated through simulations that the SZ phase code method of mitigating range ambiguities has a performance that exceeds any other known phase-coding scheme. This paper describes an implementation of this ...
