Passive Optical Sensing of the Near-Surface Wind-Driven Current Profile
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)stimation of near-surface current is essential to the estimation of upper-ocean material transport. Wind forcing and wave motions are dominant in the near-surface layer [within O(0.01) m of the surface], where the highly ... -
A user parameter-free diagonal-loading scheme for clutter rejection on radar wind profilers
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)his paper presents a novel method for the automatic determination of the diagonal-loading level for robust adaptive beamforming on radar wind profilers. This method balances the degradation of the signal-to-interference ... -
Two-Dimensional Dealiasing of Doppler Velocities
(American Meteorological Society, 1993)The Doppler velocity dealiasing problem has been discussed for many years. Because aliasing is easily identified by detecting abrupt changes in the data field, most existing algorithms use this technique to correct aliased ... -
Algorithm for Determining the Statistical Properties of Cloud Particles through In Situ Ensemble Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n algorithm is described for inverting individual particle properties from statistics of ensemble observations, thereby dispelling the notion that coincident particles create inherently erroneous data in particle probes. ... -
Response Time Characteristics of the Fast-2D Optical Array Probe Detector Board
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)wo-dimensional optical array probes are commonly used for imaging raindrops and ice particles on research aircraft. The ability of these probes to accurately measure particle concentration and size partly depends on the ... -

The Influence of Wind Direction on Campbell Scientific CSAT3 and Gill R3-50 Sonic Anemometer Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)easurements from the Campbell CSAT3 and Gill R3-50 anemometers were conducted in four different experiments, in laboratory and field environments. Consistent differences between these two sonic anemometers were observed. ... -
A General-Purpose Microcontroller-Based Framework for Integrating Oceanographic Sensors, Instruments, and Peripherals
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ensors and instruments for basic oceanographic properties are becoming increasingly sophisticated, which both simplifies and complicates their use in field studies. This increased sophistication disproportionately affects ... -
A Self-Consistent Numerical Method for Microphysical Retrieval in Rain Using GPM Dual-Wavelength Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n assessment of the performance of a self-consistent numerical method for dual-frequency radar based on the retrieval of microphysical precipitation parameter profiles is presented. From the surface reference technique ... -
The GPM Combined Algorithm
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n this paper, the operational Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission combined radar?radiometer algorithm is thoroughly described. The operational combined algorithm is designed to reduce uncertainties in GPM Core ... -
Seasonal and Local Solar Time Variation of the Meridional Wind at 95 km from Observations of the 11.072-GHz Ozone Line and the 557.7-nm Oxygen Line
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)round-based spectrometers have been deployed to measure the concentration, velocity, and temperature of ozone in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), using low-cost satellite television electronics to observe the ... -
Comparison of In Situ Soil Moisture Measurements: An Examination of the Neutron and Dielectric Measurements within the Illinois Climate Network
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he continuity of soil moisture time series data is crucial for climatic research. Yet, a common problem for continuous data series is the changing of sensors, not only as replacements are necessary, but as technologies ... -
A Comparative Study of Moored/Point and Acoustic Tomography/Integral Observations of Sound Speed in Fram Strait Using Objective Mapping Techniques
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)stimation of the exchange of seawater of various properties between the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans presents a challenging observational problem. The strong current systems within Fram Strait induce recirculations and ... -
Electronic Scan Strategy for Phased Array Weather Radar Using a Space–Time Characterization Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)his paper presents an adaptive scan strategy concept for phased array weather radars (PAWR) with the objective of increasing the scan speed and capturing features of the storm system while maintaining the measurement ... -
Automated Processing of Oceanic Bubble Images for Measuring Bubble Size Distributions underneath Breaking Waves
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ccurate in situ measurements of oceanic bubble size distributions beneath breaking waves are needed for a better understanding of air?sea gas transfer and aerosol production processes. To achieve this goal, a novel ... -
“Deep-Arvor”: A New Profiling Float to Extend the Argo Observations Down to 4000-m Depth
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he international Argo program, consisting of a global array of more than 3000 free-drifting profiling floats, has now been monitoring the upper 2000 m of the ocean for several years. One of its main proposed evolutions is ... -
On-Orbit Absolute Calibration of the Global Precipitation Measurement Microwave Imager
