| description abstract | The U.S. Weather Bureau has been experimenting with a radar operating on the Doppler principle to determine whether apparatus of this type would detect and uniquely identify tornadoes. The principles of Doppler radar as applied to meteorology and results of recent experiments with equipment of this type are discussed. Calculations of anomalous wind speeds of 206 m.p.h. in a funnel cloud and 94 m.p.h. in a dust devil are presented in detail. In addition, data have been gathered from squall lines and isolated thunderstorms. Recommendations are made for an optimum Doppler radar system for the detection of tornadoes. | |
