Abstract: A format for an optimal post-detection integration is discussed. The measurement cells in the integration scheme have equal down-range and cross-range resolution to conserve more of the variability of the precipitation ...

Abstract: In this study, 600 h of vertically pointing X-band radar data and 50 h of UHF boundary layer wind profiler data were processed and analyzed to characterize quantitatively the structure and the causes of the radar signature ...

Abstract: Intercomparisons among three different sensors for ground-based measurement of drop size distributions are presented: the Joss?Waldvogel distrometer, the optical spectro-pluviometer, and the precipitation occurrence sensor ...

Abstract: To obtain the full description of the dynamical and microphysical finescale structures required for the computation of the radar-derived brightband parameters, a numerical model has been developed. A bulk microphysics ...

Abstract: s a first step toward retrieval of snow microphysics from two vertically pointing radars operating at X band and W band, a theoretical model of snow microphysics is formulated in which the number of unknown parameters is ...

Abstract: ased on the theory developed in Part III, this paper introduces a new method to retrieve snow microphysics from ground-based collocated X- and W-band vertically pointing Doppler radars. To take into account the variety of ...

Abstract: Recently, Protat and Zawadzki described an analysis method to retrieve the three wind components and their temporal derivatives from measurements collected by a bistatic multiple-Doppler radar network deployed around ...

Abstract: Most attenuation correction algorithms are based on the assumption of an average, range-independent power-law relationship, k = aZb, between attenuation k and reflectivity Z. This paper analyzes how nonuniform beam filling ...

Abstract: agrangian extrapolation of recent radar observations is a widely used deterministic nowcasting technique in operational and research centers. However, this technique does not account for errors due to changes in precipitation ...

Abstract: owcasting is the short-range forecast obtained from the latest observed state. Currently, heuristic techniques, such as Lagrangian extrapolation, are the most commonly used for rainfall forecasting. However, the Lagrangian ...
