Novel Tornado Detection Using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy System with S-Band Polarimetric Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Weather Radar Spatiotemporal Saliency: A First Look at an Information Theory–Based Human Attention Model Adapted to Reflectivity Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Simulation-Based Quantitative Evaluation Method for Water–Water Transshipment Coal Terminals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Determining how to quantitatively analyze and evaluate a terminal layout is important for terminal design and construction organizations. In this study, a simulation-based quantitative analysis and an evaluation method ...
Variational Analysis of Oversampled Dual-Doppler Radial Velocity Data and Application to the Analysis of Tornado Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Statistical Quality of Spectral Polarimetric Variables for Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A Machine Learning Approach for Classifying Bird and Insect Radar Echoes with S-Band Polarimetric Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Influence of Creep and Sand Type on the Compression Behavior of Sand–Rubber Composites
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Even though the mechanical behavior of granular soil–rubber mixtures has attracted significant attention and promising applications in geotechnical engineering, less attention has been paid to the influence of creep and ...
Multifunction Phased-Array Radar: Time Balance Scheduler for Adaptive Weather Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Investigation of Non-Gaussian Doppler Spectra Observed by Weather Radar in a Tornadic Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
The Use of Coherency to Improve Signal Detection in Dual-Polarization Weather Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
