Abstract: ornado debris signatures (TDS) exhibited in polarimetric measurements have the potential to facilitate tornado detection. The upgrade of the network of S-band Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) to dual ...

Abstract: AbstractForecasters often monitor and analyze large amounts of data, especially during severe weather events, which can be overwhelming. Thus, it is important to effectively allocate their finite perceptual and cognitive ...

Abstract: For the detection of severe weather phenomena such as tornados, mesocyclones, and strong wind shear, the azimuthal resolution of radial velocity measurements is more important. The typical azimuthal resolutions of 1° for ...

Abstract: pectral polarimetry for weather radar capitalizes on both Doppler and polarimetric measurements to reveal polarimetric variables as a function of radial velocity through spectral analysis. For example, spectral differential ...

Abstract: Phased-array radars (PARs) have the capability of instantaneously and dynamically controlling beam position on a pulse-by-pulse basis, which allows a single radar to perform multiple functions, such as tracking multiple ...

Abstract: Radar Doppler spectra that deviate from a Gaussian shape were observed from a tornadic supercell on 10 May 2003, exhibiting features such as a dual peak, flat top, and wide skirt in the nontornadic region. Motivated by ...

Abstract: Currently, signal detection and censoring in operational weather radars is performed by using thresholds of the estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and/or the magnitude of the autocorrelation coefficient at the first ...

Abstract: As the existing NEXRAD radar network nears the end of its lifecycle, intense study and planning are underway to design a viable replacement system. Ideally, such a system would offer improved temporal resolution compared ...
