Vertically pointing airborne Doppler radar observations of Kelvin-Helmholtz billows
A train of Kelvin–Helmholtz billows in a deep stratiform cloud over a mountain range is documented using data from a high-resolution vertically pointing airborne Doppler radar. The billows had a spacing of 2–2.5 km and a small aspect ratio. The formation and decay of the billows appear to be related to flow acceleration over a mountain.
متن کامل8.1 Development of a Climatology of Vertically Complete Wind Profiles from Doppler Radar Wind Profiler Systems
Space vehicle loads and trajectory assessments utilize archives of both discrete and sequential wind profiles to ensure robust structural integrity during vehicle design. Historically, vehicle programs have used balloonbased measurements, which have three primary limitations inherent to balloon systems. First, the high cost of balloon releases makes high-frequency balloon sampling impractical, ...

متن کاملMeteoric dust effects on D-region incoherent scatter radar spectra
We extend the incoherent backscatter radar equation for the weakly ionized, collision-dominated case to include polydisperse charged dust, using the fluid-equation approach. Calculations with this equation show that the main effect of charged dust on the radar Doppler spectrum is to narrow it, except in the case of very small, negatively charged dust, which widens the spectrum. The results are ...
متن کاملA Study of Doppler Beam Swinging Using an Imaging Radar
In this paper, a study of the Doppler Beam Swinging (DBS) technique for horizontal wind estimation using an imaging radar is presented. The primary goal is to quantify effects of temporal and spatial inhomogeneities in the quality of DBS wind estimates. The DBS technique has been extensively applied to Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radars, including boundary layer radars (BLR), to o...
