Abstract: n image-processing algorithm has been developed to identify aerosol plumes in scanning lidar backscatter data. The images in this case consist of lidar data in a polar coordinate system. Each full lidar scan is taken as a ...

Abstract: An algorithm to perform outlier detection on time-series data is developed, the intelligent outlier detection algorithm (IODA). This algorithm treats a time series as an image and segments the image into clusters of interest, ...

Abstract: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Improved Moments Algorithm (NIMA) calculates the first and second moments (radial velocity and spectral width) of wind-profiler Doppler spectra and provides an evaluation ...
