Inferring the Presence of Freezing Drizzle using Archived Data from the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS)
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)In its current form, the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) provides automated precipitation type reports of rain, snow, and freezing rain. Unknown precipitation can also be reported when the system recognizes ... -
A Simulation Framework to Support the Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Scanning for Phased-Array Weather Radars
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)We propose a simulation framework that can be used to design and evaluate the performance of adaptive scanning algorithms on different phased-array weather radar designs. The simulator is proposed as tool to: (1) compare ... -
Towards the Standardization of Mesoscale Meteorological Networks
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)While sharing many common qualities in design and operation, mesonets across the United States were established independently and organically over the last several decades. In numerous instances, the unique ways each network ... -
Radar Super Resolution using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Super-resolution involves synthetically increasing the resolution of gridded data beyond its native resolution. Typically, this is done using interpolation schemes, which estimate sub-grid scale values from neighboring ... -
Bootstrap methods for statistical inference. Part II: Extreme-value analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This paper is the sequel to a companion paper on bootstrap resampling that reviews bootstrap methodology for making statistical inferences for atmospheric science applications where the necessary assumptions are often not ... -
Bootstrap methods for statistical inference. Part I: Comparative forecast verification for continuous variables
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)When making statistical inferences, bootstrap resampling methods are often appealing because of less stringent assumptions about the distribution of the statistic(s) of interest. However, the procedures are not free of ... -
Distributed Temperature Sensing for Oceanographic Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) uses Raman scatter from laser light pulsed through an optical fiber to observe temperature along a cable. Temperature resolution across broad scales (seconds to many months, and ... -
Demonstrating the Potential of Low-Cost GPS Units for the Remote Measurement of Tides and Water Levels Using Interferometric Reflectometry
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A low-cost [$30 (U.S. dollars)] consumer grade GPS receiver with a sideways-mounted antenna has been applied to measure tidal water levels at a mesotidal coastal site using an interferometric reflectometry approach. The ... -
Separating Cloud and Drizzle Signals in Radar Doppler Spectra Using a Parametric Time Domain Method
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The ability to separate cloud and drizzle returns in active remote sensing observations is important for understanding the microphysics of clouds and precipitation. Yet, robust separations remain challenging in radar remote ... -
Accuracy and long-term stability assessment of inductive conductivity cell measurements on Argo floats
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This study demonstrates the long-term stability of salinity measurements from Argo floats equipped with inductive conductivity cells, which have extended float lifetimes as compared to electrode-type cells. New Argo float ... -
An Automated Common Algorithm for Planetary Boundary Layer Retrievals Using Aerosol Lidars in Support of the U.S. EPA Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations Program
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A unique automated planetary boundary layer (PBL) retrieval algorithm is proposed as a common cross-platform method for use with commercially available ceilometers for implementation under the redesigned U.S. Environmental ... -
Investigation of Compression and Reconstruction Methods for Solar Radiation Spectra above, within, and below the Sea Ice in Polar Environments
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)To reduce the amount of data transmitted, while retaining essential information on the original signal after reconstruction, this study investigated three different compression and reconstruction methods for the solar ... -
Cloud assumption of Precipitation Retrieval Algorithms for the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)An assumption related to clouds is one of uncertain factors in precipitation retrievals by the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory. While an attenuation ... -
