Abstract: A bistatic dual-Doppler weather radar network consisting of only one transmitter and a nontransmitting, nonscanning, low-cost bistatic receiver was deployed in the Boulder, Colorado, area during 1993. The Boulder network ...

Abstract: The structure and behavior of multiple subtornadic-scale vortices in a tornado were examined and were compared with laboratory, conceptual, and numerical models. Unique radar observations of an exceptionally large and ...

Abstract: The mature and dissipating stages of a strong tornado were observed from close range by the prototype Doppler On Wheels mobile radar. Volumetric observations repeated eight times over an 840-s period with resolution volumes ...

Abstract: The accuracy of wind vectors derived from bistatic dual-Doppler synthesis was investigated. The investigation was based on mathematical examinations and observation data analyses in both convective and stratiform cases. ...

Abstract: variety of vortex configurations observed at finescale with Doppler On Wheels (DOW) radars in and near the hook echoes of supercell thunderstorms are described. These include marginal/weak tornadoes, often with no documented ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional axisymmetric wind field structure of the violent Spencer, South Dakota, 1998 tornado was analyzed using the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) method. Data from a Doppler on Wheels mobile ...

Abstract: AbstractStrong hurricanes cause severe, but highly variable, wind damage to homes and community infrastructure. It has been speculated, but not previously shown, that damage variability is caused by tornadoes or other ...

Abstract: On 3 May 1999, an unusually large tornado that caused F4-level damage and killed several people was intercepted by the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) mobile radar near Mulhall, Oklahoma, from a range of 4 to 9 km, resulting in ...

Abstract: A violent supercell tornado passed through the town of Spencer, South Dakota, on the evening of 30 May 1998 producing large gradients in damage severity. The tornado was rated at F4 intensity by damage survey teams. A ...
