Abstract: A modulation waveform for meteorological Doppler radars that obtain estimates of radar reflectivity, mean velocity, and Doppler width with dwell time much shorter than that used with conventional meteorological Doppler ...

Abstract: Simulations of weather radar echoes were used to determine whether single-pulse estimates of velocity could be made with sufficient accuracy to measure the velocity aliasing that is inherent with pulse Doppler weather ...

Abstract: Two X-hand Doppler radars observed a hailstorm that passed directly over one of the radars during the 1973 National Hail Research Experiment (NHRE). While one of the radars scanned the storm at low elevation angles the ...

Abstract: Temperature measurements made with a 50-MHz wind profiler equipped with a radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) are compared with radiosonde observations (raobs) during a 5-week period in the fall of 1991. The accuracy of ...

Abstract: In this paper we report the results of measurements of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates within a convective storm. The measurements were obtained with two Doppler radars, one scanning the storm from a distance ...

Abstract: Wind shear has been recognized as a major aviation hazard in the airport environment. A dual, acoustic Doppler microwave Doppler radar system has been installed at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C., to ...

Abstract: A new radar technique for measuring winds in the lower atmosphere is discussed. It is an extension of the well-known FM-CW technique and has the same advantages of relatively low cost and high flexibility for a clear-air ...

Abstract: The maximum height performance of the 50, 405 nd 915 MHz Colorado wind profiles is computed from the wind profiler database. Results show that even though the 50 MHz profiler has the largest seasonal variation in the maximum ...

Abstract: A network of 31 radar wind profilers is being installed in the central United States by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The radars are expected to measure the vertical profile of horizontal and ...

Abstract: Networks of radars that point almost vertically and continuously measure the vertical profile of the horizontal wind will, in the future, be operated at many locations around the world. Although such radars are designed ...
