Abstract: Recently, the (effective or projected) development of radar networks devoted to short-term forecasting has considerably emphasized the need for new forecasting methods using single- or multiple-radar data that are easy to ...

Abstract: he apparent heat source Q1 and the apparent moisture sink Q2 are crucial parameters for precipitating systems studies because they allow for the evaluation of their contribution in water and energy transport and infer some ...

Abstract: This paper presents the kinematic structure of a cold frontal rainband associated with a secondary cold front which moved over southwest of France on 4 June 1984. Observations were performed during the French cooperative ...

Abstract: The present paper is devoted to a new analysis of winds and temperature measurements made by an observational network in order to provide the 3D ageostrophic circulations. This analysis may be used with data from instrumented ...

Abstract: The present paper describes the vertical structure of the wind field obtained by analysis of ?purls,? that is, circular trajectories regularly performed by airborne dual-beam Doppler radars within the FASTEX frontal cyclones. ...

Abstract: The present study is devoted to new analyses of single-beam airborne Doppler radar data referred to as SAVAD (single-beam airborne velocity?azimuth display) and double SAVAD. These techniques permit processing of Doppler ...
