RISEffect of Nonuniform Beam Filling on the Propagation of Radar Signals at X-Band Frequencies. Part II: Examination of Differential Phase Shift
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of the effects of nonuniform beam filling on the measurement of the propagation phase shift for X-band radar is presented. An analytical expression is derived for the measured differential phase shift. It is ...
Networked Acoustic Modems for Real-Time Data Delivery from Distributed Subsurface Instruments in the Coastal Ocean: Initial System Development and Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are reported from field tests of networked acoustic modems used for wireless real-time delivery of oceanographic measurements from a distributed array of subsurface instruments in coastal waters. The network ...
Cloud Classification of Satellite Radiance Data by Multicategory Support Vector Machines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-category support vector machines (SVMs) have become very popular in the machine learning community for classification problems and have recently been shown to have good optimality properties for classification purposes. ...
Application of Neural Network Principal Components to Climate Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used methods in the examination of climate data. However, PCA of a dataset is handicapped if the data size is large. PCA of a large dataset would require huge ...
SkinDeEP: A Profiling Instrument for Upper-Decameter Sea Surface Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Skin Depth Experimental Profiler (SkinDeEP) is an autonomous, self-contained, hydrodynamic instrument capable of making repeated, high-resolution profiles of temperature and conductivity within the ocean's upper ...
A Piezoelectrical Rain Gauge for Application on Buoys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rain gauge systems are required to measure rainfall data on buoys at oceanic sites that are not suited for conventional rain sensors. A piezoelectrical rain gauge has been developed for use on buoys, to provide rain ...
Uncertainties in Estimates of Reynolds Stress and TKE Production Rate Using the ADCP Variance Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) to measure turbulent parameters via the variance method involves uncertainties due to instrument noise and flow-related errors in measurement. For weak flows, the ...
Efficient Atmospheric Simulation for High-Resolution Radar Imaging Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical simulation can be used for optimizing radar imaging techniques because it allows the accuracy of various techniques to be studied. A simulation of atmospheric conditions by using scatterers in a 3D volume was ...
A Comparison between Observations and MM5 Simulations of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer across a Temperature Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations, made with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University (PSU)?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5), of the response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) as air ...
The Miami2001 Infrared Radiometer Calibration and Intercomparison. Part I: Laboratory Characterization of Blackbody Targets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second calibration and intercomparison of infrared radiometers (Miami2001) was held at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) during May?June 2001. The participants were ...
