Download or read book Using VHF Radars to Probe the Atmosphere written by Arnold A. Barnes and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columns of ions left by the passage of meteors through the 80- to 100-km altitude region are used as tracers to monitor the wind and density variations of the high atmosphere. Recent equipment development with pulse-interferometers operating in the 20- to 75-MHz band has made it possible to obtain more accurate information on the location of the reflection point on the ionized meteor trail. Analyses of the wind and density data obtained at AFCRL, at Stanford, California, Durham, New Hampshire, and Eglin AFB, Florida are reviewed. Rocket and meteor trail wind observations were obtained at Eglin AFB and, for a separation of 150 km, show reasonable comparisons within one hour. Poor comparisons at larger space and time separations are attributed to large-scale horizontal eddies (gravity waves). (Author Modified Abstract).

Download or read book Radar for Meteorological and Atmospheric Observations written by Shoichiro Fukao and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epoch-making progress in meteorology and atmospheric science has always been hastened by the development of advanced observational technologies, in particular, radar technology. This technology depends on a wide range of sciences involving diverse disciplines, from electrical engineering and electronics to computer sciences and atmospheric physics. Meteorological radar and atmospheric radar each has a different history and has been developed independently. Particular radar activities have been conducted within their own communities. Although the technology of these radars draws upon many common fields, until now the interrelatedness and interdisciplinary nature of the research fields have not been consistently discussed in one volume containing fundamental theories, observational methods, and results. This book is by two authors who, with long careers in the two fields, one in academia and the other in industry, are ideal partners for writing on the comprehensive science and technology of radars for meteorological and atmospheric observations.
Download or read book Atmospheric Radar written by Wayne K. Hocking and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly illustrated, and including both an extensive bibliography and index, this indispensable guide brings together the theory, design, and applications of atmospheric radar. It explains the basic thermodynamics and dynamics of the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere, and discusses the physical and engineering principles behind one of the key tools used to study these regions - MST radars. Key topics covered include antennas, signal propagation, and signal processing techniques. A wide range of practical applications are discussed, including the use of atmospheric radar to study wind profiles, tropospheric temperature, and gravity waves. A detailed overview of radar designs provides a wealth of knowledge and tools, providing readers with a strong basis for building their own instruments. This is an essential resource for graduate students and researchers working in the areas of radar engineering, remote sensing, meteorology, and atmospheric physics, as well as for practitioners in the radar industry.

Download or read book The Upper Atmosphere written by Walter Dieminger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1023 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Especially due to the increasing environmental problems there is a need to collect as many data as possible in the upper atmosphere. This book serves as a general multidisciplinary guide and introduction for a more effective use of the large amount of now available data from the Earth's atmosphere. It also shows the problems of the use of large amounts of time series data - for basic science as well as for environmental monitoring - and the related information systems. The book is aimed for scientists and students interested in the Earth's atmosphere which is vital for the understanding of environmental changes in the global system Earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microwave FM-CW radars have been used for about 5 years to monitor the structure of atmospheric regions with large refractive-index fluctuations. We have recently devised a scheme that retrieves the Doppler velocity spectrum for each range resolution cell measured by an FM radar. In this paper we report initial results of meteorological measurements with this new capability and discuss its potential in remote sensing of the boundary layer.
