Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report consists of three separate studies: (1) a radar climatological description of precipitation lines as displayed by the CPS-9, (2) a similar investigation using the APS-15, and (3) the radar characteristics of precipitation lines associated with heavy rainstorms. These investigations were made to supplement the limited knowledge available concerning precipitation lines, with particular attention to severe weather phenomena and heavy rainstorms. Data are presented to describe rainfall line characteristics such as movement, orientation, duration, size, and growth tendencies. It was found that severe weather and heavy rainfall lines were larger, persisted longer, moved faster, and rotated more than other lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to the current technology and application of radar in meteorology and atmospheric sciences Written by leading experts in the field, Radar Meteorology, A first Course offers an introduction to meteorological radar systems and applications, with emphasis on observation and interpretation of physical processes in clouds and weather systems. This comprehensive introduction to the subject offers an overview of the quantities essential to radar meteorology including the radar reflectivity factor, and Doppler, dual-polarization, and multi-wavelength radar variables. The authors highlight wind retrieval from single and multiple Doppler radars, precipitation estimation and hydrometeorological applications, with chapters dedicated to interpretation of radar data from warm season mid-latitude severe weather, winter storms, tropical cyclones and more. In addition, Radar Meteorology highlights research applications of this burgeoning technology, exploring dynamic applications such as space-borne and ground-based vertically pointing radar systems, and cloud, airborne and mobile radars. As meteorological radars are increasingly used professionally for weather observation, forecasting and warning, this much-needed text: Presents an introduction to the technical aspects and current application of radar as used in the meteorology and atmospheric sciences Contains full-colour illustrations that enhance the understanding of the material presented Examines the wide-range of meteorological applications of radar Includes problems at the end of each chapter as a helpful review of the contents Provides full instructor support with all illustrations and answers to problems available via the book’s instructor website. Radar Meteorology offers a much-needed introductory text to the study of radar as applied to meteorology. The text was designed for a one semester course based on the authors' own course in Radar Meteorology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we all know, weather radar came into existence during the Second World War when aircraft detection radars had their vision limited by echoes from rain bearing clouds. What was often considered to be of nuisance value by the air force personnel trying to locate enemy aircraft was seen as an opportunity by the weather men. Thus adversity in one field was converted into an opportunity in another. Since then weather radar has found myriad applications with the increased sophistication of technology and processing systems. It has now become an indispensable tool for the operational forecasters, cloud physicists and atmospheric scientists. The current generation radar is but a distant echo of the radars of the 1940s. As a result, its operation and maintenance have become very complex, like the technology it uses. Therefore, there is a definite requirement of focussing our special attention not only on the science of radar meteorology but also on its operational aspects. The present book, as pointed out by the author, attempts to fill this gap. The author has presented the subject with a balanced blend of science, technology and practice. The canvas is indeed very broad. Starting with the history of weather radar development the book goes on to discuss in a lucid style the physics of the atmosphere related to radar observation, radar technology, echo interpretation, different applications and finally attempts to look into the future to indicate potential new opportunities in this field.

Book excerpt: With their images practically ubiquitious in the daily media, weather radar systems provide data not only for understanding weather systems and improving forecasts (especially critical for severe weather), but also for hydrological applications, flood warnings and climate research in which ground verification is needed for global precipitation measurements by satellites. This book offers an accessible overview of advanced methods, applications and modern research from the European perspective. An extensive introductory chapter summarizes the principles of weather radars and discusses the potential of modern radar systems, including Doppler and polarisation techniques, data processing, and error-correction methods. Addressing both specialist researchers and nonspecialists from related areas, this book will also be useful for graduate students planning to specialize in this field

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remote PPI with display of three intensity levels in shades of gray and compensation for range variations in scope illumination has been set up for the WR-66 radar. Camera attachments have been added to both radars. Design of the data processor has been completed. Printed circuits have been drawn and chasses have been built. A sensing unit for a continuously and automatically recording raindrop spectrometer has been built. Data taken in a number of storms show clearly that the WR-66 radar does not suffer from the limitations of attenuation, and low sensitivity and resolution which have been observed in the AN/CPS-9 and SCR-615-B radars. Applications and Analysis: Analysis of the mesoscale precipitation patterns in various types of storms and their relation to macroscale parameters is continuing. Coastal cyclones, some overland cyclones from the southwest, cold fronts and air mass storms have been analyzed. Results of a numerical analysis of snowflake aggregation are summarized. (Author).
