Precipitation Characteristics at Vertical Incidence from Multiple Wavelength Doppler Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A vertically looking, multiple-wavelength Doppler radar technique to estimate vertical velocity, drop size distribution and turbulence is presented. The ratio of the Doppler spectra, corresponding to the drop fall velocities ...
Experimental Studies of Modified R-Meter Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The validity of the extension of R-meter theory advanced by W. H. Lob has been tested experimentally by laboratory simulation of both radar signals and typical radar signal processing equipment. The experimental results ...
A Comparison of Techniques to Estimate Vertical Air Motions and Raindrop Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Doppler velocity spectra collected at vertical incidence contain information on vertical air motions and drop-size distributions with high spatial and temporal resolution. In the past, the computational interdependence ...
Time, Angle and Range Averaging of Radar Echoes from Distributed Targets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In radar meteorology, the average of the weather echo power is used in the computation of reflectivity, liquid water content, rainfall rate, etc. The uncertainty in measuring or estimating average weather echo power is ...
