RISEvaluation of Wind Vectors Measured by a Bistatic Doppler Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By installing and linking additional receivers to a monostatic Doppler radar, several wind components can be measured and combined into a wind vector field. Such a bistatic Doppler radar network was developed in 1993 by ...
Interpolation of Operational Radar Data to a Regular Cartesian Grid Exemplified by Munich’s Airport Radar Configuration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTwo methods for avoiding errors in the interpolation of operational radar data to a regular grid are presented. The issue is the interpolation of radial velocity and the subsequent estimation of horizontal wind ...
Wind Synthesis and Quality Control of Multiple-Doppler-Derived Horizontal Wind Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Horizontal wind vector fields can be measured in real time by a bistatic Doppler radar network and can be applied directly for hazard warnings and weather surveillance. Most applications, however, especially for meteorological ...
A Variational Correction Method as an Alternative to Forced Rejection of Sidelobe-Contaminated Bistatic Doppler Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of sidelobe contamination of bistatic apparent Doppler velocity measurements involved in a bistatic Doppler radar network is examined. So far in the context of 3D wind field analysis, by combining a traditional ...
A Quality Control Concept for Radar Reflectivity, Polarimetric Parameters, and Doppler Velocity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the last few years the use of weather radar data has become a fundamental part of various applications like rain-rate estimation, nowcasting of severe weather events, and assimilation into numerical weather prediction ...
Monitoring the Absolute Calibration of a Polarimetric Weather Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe absolute calibration of a dual-polarization radar of the German Weather Service is continuously monitored using the operational birdbath scan and collocated disdrometer measurements at the Hohenpeissenberg ...
SAL—A Novel Quality Measure for the Verification of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel object-based quality measure, which contains three distinct components that consider aspects of the structure (S), amplitude (A), and location (L) of the precipitation field in a prespecified domain (e.g., a river ...
RESEARCH CAMPAIGN: The Convective and Orographically Induced Precipitation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The international field campaign called the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study (COPS) took place from June to August 2007 in southwestern Germany/eastern France. The overarching goal of COPS is to ...
The North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (NAWDEX) explored the impact of diabatic processes on disturbances of the jet stream and their influence on downstream high-impact weather through the ...
