Abstract: This paper discusses the subject of weather radar system sensitivity from a general point of view, with emphasis an the influence of wavelength. Expressions for the echo signal-to-noise ratio are examined using a detection ...

Abstract: This note argues that the proper symbol for the logarithmic unit of radar reflectivity factor is dBz. The basis for this contention lies in both customary engineering practice and the international standard for unit symbols.

Abstract: The antenna beam pattern for low elevation angles is examined in relation to the radar horizon to assess the impact of base-scan elevation angle on sensitivity to near-horizon weather features, as well as its effect on ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the effects of shortcomings in the reporting of severe storm events on some common measures of warning performance. Such deficiencies lead to an apparent false alarm ratio (FAR) higher ...

Abstract: Gamma functions are widely used in an effort to represent characteristics of observed raindrop size distributions, especially at the small-particle end. However, available instruments do not agree about the character of ...
