RISPolarization Diversity for Millimeter Spaceborne Doppler Radars: An Answer for Observing Deep Convection?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: paceborne Doppler radars have the potential to provide key missing observations of convective vertical air motions especially over the tropical oceans. Such measurements can improve understanding of the role of tropical ...
A Robust Dual-Frequency Radar Profiling Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, an algorithm to retrieve precipitation from spaceborne dual-frequency (13.8 and 35.6 GHz, or Ku/Ka band) radar observations is formulated and investigated. Such algorithms will be of paramount importance in ...
Spaceborne Doppler Radar Measurements of Rainfall: Correction of Errors Induced by Pointing Uncertainties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper a sea surface radar echo spectral analysis technique to correct for the rainfall velocity error caused by radar-pointing uncertainty is presented. The correction procedure is quite straightforward when the ...
The Dual Wavelength Ratio Knee: A Signature of Multiple Scattering in Airborne Ku–Ka Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep convective systems observed by the High Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) radar during the 2011 Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) field campaign in Oklahoma provide the ...
Multiple Scattering Effects in Pulsed Radar Systems: An Intercomparison Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, two different numerical methods capable of computing multiple scattering effects in pulsed-radar systems are compared. Both methods are based on the solution of the time-dependent vectorial form of the ...
