Repeat-Sequence Coding for Improved Precision of Doppler Sonar and Sodar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeat-sequence coding is a robust method for improving the precision of velocity estimates from incoherent Doppler sounders. The method involves transmitting a number of repeats of a broadband ?subcode.? The Doppler shift ...
Interpretation of Infrared Nighttime Imagery of a Forested Canopy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interpretation of an infrared nighttime imagery over a forested valley visualizes cold air drainage with the warmer tops of trees protruding near the center of the valley and whole crowns protruding on higher ridges. ...
The Development of an Airborne Infrared Interferometer for Meteorological Sounding Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) has developed an airborne interferometer to act as a simulator for future satellite-based infrared meteorological sounders. The Airborne Research Interferometer Evaluation ...
The Space Time Structure of Extreme Storm Rainfall in the Southern Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The space?time structure of extreme storm rainfall in the southern plains is examined through empirical analyses of radar and rain gauge data. Two networks of rain gauge data are utilized: a collection of more than 200 ...
The Wirewalker: A Vertically Profiling Instrument Carrier Powered by Ocean Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean wave energy is used to drive a buoyant instrument platform down a wire suspended from a surface float. At the lower terminus of the profiling range, the cam that rectifies wave vertical motion is released and the ...
Ice Particle Interarrival Times Measured with a Fast FSSP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ice particle interarrival times have been measured with a fast forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP). The distribution of interarrival times is bimodal instead of the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson ...
Modernization in the National Weather Service River and Flood Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrologic forecasting is vital not only to the National Weather Service mission of saying lives and protecting property but also to our nation's water management decision makers. Since its inception, the River and Flood ...
