Novel Tornado Detection Using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy System with S-Band Polarimetric Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ornado debris signatures (TDS) exhibited in polarimetric measurements have the potential to facilitate tornado detection. The upgrade of the network of S-band Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) to dual ...
Statistical Quality of Spectral Polarimetric Variables for Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pectral polarimetry for weather radar capitalizes on both Doppler and polarimetric measurements to reveal polarimetric variables as a function of radial velocity through spectral analysis. For example, spectral differential ...
Application of Spectral Polarimetry to a Hailstorm at Low Elevation Angle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSpectral polarimetry has the potential to be used to study microphysical properties in relation to the dynamics within a radar resolution volume by combining Doppler and polarimetric measurements. The past studies ...
Radar Vertical Profile of Reflectivity Correction with TRMM Observations Using a Neural Network Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omplex terrain poses challenges to the ground-based radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) because of partial or total blockages of radar beams in the lower tilts. Reflectivities from higher tilts are often used ...

Characterization of Tornado Spectral Signatures Using Higher-Order Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Distinct tornado spectral signatures (TSSs), which are similar to white noise spectra or have bimodal features, have been observed in both simulations and real data from Doppler radars. The shape of the tornado spectrum ...
Tornado Detection Using a Neuro–Fuzzy System to Integrate Shear and Spectral Signatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tornado vortices observed from Doppler radars are often associated with strong azimuthal shear and Doppler spectra that are wide and flattened. The current operational tornado detection algorithm (TDA) primarily searches ...
