Abstract: Methods of analysis are described which determine the two parameters in an assumed exponential hailstone size distribution from the Doppler radar spectrum. When applied to the data of Battan and Theiss it is found that ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the extent to which variations in Z?R (reflectivity factor?rainfall rate) relations can explain the systematically large offsets of radar-measured rainfall from rain gauge measurements as observed ...

Abstract: For a spaceborne meteorological radar, the use of frequencies above 10 GHz may be necessary to attain sufficient spatial resolution. As the frequency increases, however, attenuation by rain becomes significant. To extend ...

Abstract: This paper describes an investigation of a thunderstorm that occurred in the summer of 1991 over the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Observations were made using collinear dual-wavelength ...
