Abstract: The concept of the polarimetric scattering matrix applicable to hydrometeors is reviewed to indicate the total number of measurands that is possible from a radar system with two orthogonal linear polarizations. It is shown ...

Abstract: This is a version of a speech presented at the 27th Conference on Radar Meteorology. Relative advantages of polarimetry are contrasted with the advantages accrued by the introduction of radar into meteorology and by the ...

Abstract: A versatile algorithm to generate weatherlike spectra of any desired shape is described, and applications are briefly discussed.

Abstract: We have developed a procedure that detects and tracks gust fronts automatically. It does not rely on a single method but requires simultaneous operation of two related algorithms. The convergence algorithm measures radial ...

Abstract: A procedure to filter the ground clutter from a dual-polarized, staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) sequence and recover the complex spectral coefficients of the weather signal is presented. While magnitude spectra are ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the recovery of Doppler velocities in the presence of range overlaid echoes. Transmitted pulses are phase shifted to tag the echoes from scatterers, which are separated by the unambiguous range. A new ...

Abstract: AbstractIt is shown that the NEXRAD weather radar with enhanced detectability is capable of observing the evolution of convective thermals. The fields of radar differential reflectivity show that the upper parts of the ...

Abstract: Doppler radars offer unique data from which it is possible to estimate the turbulent eddy dissipation rates, ?. If the inertial subrange extends to lengths longer than the radar resolution volume size, ? can be obtained ...

Abstract: A technique for tracking patterns of radial velocity and reflectivity data obtained with a single-Doppler radar is described. Application of the technique to two different scans of the same spatial region may lead to the ...

Abstract: The authors contrast rainfall in two Oklahoma squall lines: one with deep convection occurred in the spring and the other with shallower convection in the winter. Both passed over a micronetwork of densely spaced rain ...
