Abstract: Comparisons of horizontal wind component measurements from a rawinsonde and a UHF wind profiler radar, obtained twice daily over a period of nearly 2 years (from mid-January 1984 through October 1985), showed differences ...

Abstract: adar wind profiler (RWP) systems observe radar returns from refractive index fluctuations due to clear-air turbulence. The Doppler spectra used to compute the moments of the returned signal always include noise from various ...

Abstract: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has completed the installation of a 30-site demonstration network of wind-profiling radars in the central United States. The network is being used to demonstrate and ...

Abstract: Radar wind profilers (RWPs) sense the mean and turbulent motion of the clear air through Doppler shifts induced along several (3?5) upward-looking beams. RWP signals, like all radars signals, are often contaminated. The ...

Abstract: An algorithm to compute the magnitude of humidity gradient profiles from the measurements of the zeroth, first, and second moments of wind profiling radar (WPR) Doppler spectra was developed and tested. The algorithm extends ...
