ABSTRACT The United States Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radar
network has been upgraded to dual-polarization capabilities, providing operational and …

Examined is bias in differential reflectivity and its effect on estimates of rain rate due to
coupling of the vertically and horizontally polarized fields through the radiation patterns. To …

Important requirements for a future generation of weather surveillance radars include
improvements in data quality and more rapid update of volumetric data. Phased array radar …

A radar antenna intercepts thermal radiation from various sources including the ground, the
sun, the sky, precipitation, and man-made radiators. In the radar receiver, this external …

Reflectivity data from weather radar provide information on the location and quantity of water
and ice in the atmosphere at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Although the analysis of …

The National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) is maintained and operated by NOAA's
National Severe Storm Laboratory in Norman, OK, USA. It is a phased array radar (PAR) that …

Polarimetric weather radars provide additional measurements that allow better
characterization of the targeted medium. Because ground clutter has different polarimetric …

Coherent power is an alternative to the conventional noise-subtracted power technique for
measuring weather radar signal power. The inherent noise-canceling feature of coherent …

Interest is growing in the application of the spatial location information from weather
scenario to the monitoring of meteorological signal for airborne weather radar system. Here …

A radar antenna captures thermal radiation emitted from diverse sources such as the
ground, the Sun, the sky, precipitation, and man-made radiators. In the radar receiver, this …
