Estimation of Divergence in the Prestorm Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis technique to derive wind field parameters from single-Doppler velocity measurements, known as Modified Velocity-Volume Processing (MVVP) is examined from both theoretical and operational perspectives. For this ...
Considerations in Estimating Horizontal Wind Gradients from an Individual Doppler Radar or a Network of Wind Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Applications of Doppler weather radar data to the analysis of wind fields are reviewed. Radial velocity measurements from a single radar are used to estimate horizontal wind vectors within small azimuthal sectors using two ...
Efficient Dealiasing of Doppler Velocities Using Local Environment Constraints
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Doppler velocity dealiasing algorithm is described that processes one radial at a time by comparing that radial with a previous radial. This technique has worked reliably on numerous Doppler radar datasets for clear air, ...
The Gust-Front Detection and Wind-Shift Algorithms for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration's Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system was primarily designed to address the operational needs of pilots in the avoidance of low-altitude wind shears upon takeoff and landing at ...
Project CRAFT: A Real-Time Delivery System for NEXRAD Level II Data Via the Internet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NOAA NWS announced at the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society in February 2003 its intent to create an Internet-based pseudo-operational system for delivering Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler ...
