Abstract: he application of the distance velocity azimuth display (DVAD) method to the retrieval of vertical wind profiles from single-Doppler radar observations is presented in this study. It was shown that Doppler velocity ...

Abstract: his study examines the structure and dynamics of Typhoon Hagupit?s (2008) principal rainband using airborne radar and dropsonde observations. The convection in Hagupit?s principal rainband was organized into a well-defined ...

Abstract: AbstractThe principal rainband in tropical cyclones is currently depicted as a solitary and continuous precipitation region. However, the airborne radar observations of the principal rainband in Typhoon Hagupit (2008) ...

Abstract: he concept and mathematical framework of the distance velocity?azimuth display (DVAD) methodology is presented. DVAD uses rVd (Doppler velocity scaled by the distance from the radar to a gate, r) as the basis to display, ...

Abstract: his study examines two strategies for improving the analysis of an hourly update three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) system and the subsequent quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF). The first strategy ...

Abstract: AbstractUncertainties in aircraft inertial navigation system and radar-pointing angles can have a large impact on the accuracy of airborne dual-Doppler analyses. The Testud et al. (THL) method has been routinely applied ...
