Errors in the Determination of Wind Speed by Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model to simulate radar data is used for testing various estimators of the Doppler shift in Doppler radar echoes. Five estimators for the Doppler shift are considered: the pulse pair and poly-pulse pair algorithms ...
A Typhoon Observed with the MU Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the passage of Typhoon 8719 a 60-h continuous observation was made of the troposphere and the lower stratosphere with the MU (middle and upper atmosphere) radar. Height profiles of the wind velocity vector were ...
MU Radar and Lidar Observations of Clear-Air Turbulence underneath Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence generation mechanisms prevalent in the atmosphere are mainly shear instabilities, breaking of internal buoyancy waves, and convective instabilities such as thermal convection due to heating of the ground. In the ...
