Pulse-to-Pulse Coherent Doppler Sonar Signal Processing Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we present and discuss techniques for the computation of the mean and spectral variance of a pulse-to-pulse coherent sonar signal, leading to the measurement of mean water velocity and turbulence. The use of ...
Operational Weather Radar in the United States: Progress and Opportunity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NEXRAD operational system consisting of a network of WSR?88D radars is now operational within the 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and Guam. This technology has been enthusiastically received by weather forecasters ...
Operational Application of Meteorological Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Single Doppler weather radar velocity and reflectivity fields have been obtained with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) 5 cm radars for a wide variety of weather situations. Among those weather features ...
Transition of Weather Research to Operations: Opportunities and Challenges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Weather Service (NWS) of the United States has recently completed its modernization phase. This comprehensive modernization has put into place new observing systems, both ground-based and in space. Themodernization ...
Weather Modification: Finding Common Ground
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Research and operational approaches to weather modification expressed in the National Research Council's 2003 report on ?Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research? and in the Weather Modification Association's ...
Single- and Multiple-Doppler Radar Observations of Tornadic Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of one, two, three or more Doppler radars has become increasingly common in research programs. The advantage in increasing the number of radars is in the increased area covered and the accuracy with which wind ...
