This book was released on 1983 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical model was developed to simulate the power spectra, cross-spectrum, and derived functions obtainable from a coherent polarization diversity radar. The model was used to investigate the effects of air velocity variance, differential propagation, and noise on the spectral functions. Input parameters include radar wavelength, elevation angle, air velocity variance, rainfall rate, propagation distance, fraction of scatterers having a preferred orientation, and relative noise level. Results of calculations for 8.6 mm and 7.5 cm wavelengths are illustrated. These are compared with the functional forms obtained from theory and discussed in terms of the meteorological information derivable from them. The forms of the spectral power ratio and the cross-spectral amplitude ratio are strongly affected by air velocity variance and by noise. However, it appears possible to derive a good estimation of the Doppler air velocity from the power spectra. The cross-spectral amplitude ratio may be of more general value in analysis than previously thought, because its Doppler velocity domain is greater than that of the spectral power ratio in the presence of radar system noise. The absolute error of the propagation term estimated from the cross-spectral amplitude ratio is not strongly dependent on the rainfall rate or propagation distance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AFGL 10-cm Doppler weather radar was modified to enable the measurement of the differential reflectivity between horizontal and vertical polarizations in addition to the absolute reflectivity and the Doppler mean velocity and spectrum variance. Polarization switching is achieved by means of a diplexer, which separates at the antenna the transmitted signals of two frequencies, 2710 and 2760 MHz, and permits nearly simultaneous transmission of signals of orthogonal polarizations. Signals of these frequencies can be transmitted either with horizontal and vertical polarization, respectively, or with left and right circular, polarization, respectively. We describe the design and performance of the diplexer and the performance of the real-time data processor, present examples of meteorological measurements, and discuss future developments of the radar system. Keywords: Polarization diversity weather radar, Dual polarization radar, and Polarization switching.

Download or read book Radar Polarimetry for Weather Observations written by Alexander V. Ryzhkov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers a wide array of contemporary information on weather radar polarimetry and its applications. The book tightly connects the microphysical processes responsible for the development and evolution of the clouds’ bulk physical properties to the polarimetric variables, and contains the procedures on how to simulate realistic polarimetric variables. With up-to-date polarimetric methodologies and applications, the book will appeal to practicing radar meteorologists, hydrologists, microphysicists, and modelers who are interested in the bulk properties of hydrometeors and quantification of these with the goals to improve precipitation measurements, understanding of precipitation processes, or model forecasts.
