Processing of Oversampled Signals in Range on Polarimetric Weather Radars with Mismatched Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Processing oversampled signals in range with a whitening transformation has been proposed as a means to reduce the variance of meteorological variable estimates on polarimetric Doppler weather radars. However, the original ...
A Simulation Framework to Support the Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Scanning for Phased-Array Weather Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We propose a simulation framework that can be used to design and evaluate the performance of adaptive scanning algorithms on different phased-array weather radar designs. The simulator is proposed as tool to: (1) compare ...
High-Temporal-Resolution Capabilities of the National Weather Radar Testbed Phased-Array Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since 2007 the advancement of the National Weather Radar Testbed Phased-Array Radar (NWRT PAR) hardware and software capabilities has been supporting the implementation of high-temporal-resolution (?1 min) sampling. To ...
Automatic Detection of Wind Turbine Clutter for Weather Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind turbines cause contamination of weather radar signals that is often detrimental and difficult to distinguish from cloud returns. Because the turbines are always at the same location, it would seem simple to identify ...
Adaptive Range Oversampling to Improve Estimates of Polarimetric Variables on Weather Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ne way to reduce the variance of meteorological-variable estimates on weather radars without increasing dwell times is by using range oversampling techniques. Such techniques could significantly improve the estimation of ...
Ground Clutter Mitigation for Weather Radars Using the Autocorrelation Spectral Density
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar returns from the ground, known as ground clutter, can contaminate weather signals, often resulting in severely biased meteorological estimates. If not removed, these contaminants may artificially inflate quantitative ...
The Impact of Range-Oversampling Processing on Tornado Velocity Signatures Obtained from WSR-88D Superresolution Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: SR-88D superresolution data are produced with finer range and azimuth sampling and improved azimuthal resolution as a result of a narrower effective antenna beamwidth. These characteristics afford improved detectability ...
Adaptive Range Oversampling to Achieve Faster Scanning on the National Weather Radar Testbed Phased-Array Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes a real-time implementation of adaptive range oversampling processing on the National Weather Radar Testbed phased-array radar. It is demonstrated that, compared to conventional matched-filter processing, ...
The Importance of Accurately Measuring the Range Correlation for Range-Oversampling Processing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: fundamental assumption for the application of range-oversampling techniques is that the correlation of oversampled signals in range is accurately known. In this paper, a theoretical framework is derived to quantify the ...
Real-Time Measurement of the Range Correlation for Range Oversampling Processing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s range-oversampling processing has become more practical for weather radars, implementation issues have become important to ensure the best possible performance. For example, all of the linear transformations that have ...
