Abstract: Quantitative data collected with the WSR-57 radar at Atlantic City from five rainstorms and two snow-storms are compared with precipitation data from 60 recording rain gages within 100 mi of the radar. Hourly rainfall ...

Abstract: Five tornadoes occurred within a 40 min period on 18 May 1984 in eastern Colorado. The evolution of these tornadoes was documented by a single Doppler radar, research aircraft, mesonetwork and chase team. Three of these ...

Abstract: Oklahoma thunderstorm data were used to determine how the estimation of area rainfall by radar can be improved by using one or several raingages. The radar data were collected between 1964 and 1968 with the WSR-57 radar ...

Abstract: Radar and raingage data collected during the International Field Year for the Great Lakes were used to determine the effect of Lake Ontario on precipitation patterns. Objective analysis techniques were used to combine the ...

Abstract: A study of radar summary maps collected from July to December 1961 shows that the echo areas reported are closely associated with precipitation and that the reported echo intensifies and heights of tops are valuable for ...

Abstract: The characteristics and causes of a radar artifact called a flare echo are described. The spike or flare-shaped echo typically has reflectivities <20 dBZ, and approaching Doppler velocities. It extends radially 10?20 km ...

Abstract: Appropriate uses of radar in a national weather system within the next 10?15 years are considered. A radar network sensing precipitation reflectivity and utilizing many automatic techniques for acquiring and processing ...

Abstract: Radar can produce detailed precipitation information for large areas from a single location in real time. Although radar has been used experimentally for nearly 30 years to measure rainfall, operational implementation has ...

Abstract: Dual-Doppler radar analyses of three tornadoes associated with a multicellular line of storms are presented. The F2?F3 intensity tornadoes occurred on 15 June 1988 near Denver, Colorado, during the Terminal Doppler Weather ...
