Considerations for Polarimetric Upgrades to Operational WSR-88D Radars

Rainfall Measurements with the Polarimetric WSR-88D Radar

Rainfall Estimation with a Polarimetric Prototype of WSR-88D

As part of the Joint Polarization Experiment (JPOLE), the National Severe Storms Laboratory conducted an operational demonstration of the polarimetric utility of the Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN), Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). The capability of the KOUN radar to estimate rainfall is tested on a large dataset representing different seasons and different types of rain. A dense gaug...

Simultaneous Transmission Mode for the Polarimetric Wsr-88d Statistical Biases and Standard Deviations of Polarimetric Variables

Introduction to the WSR-88D (NEXRAD) for Ornithological Research

The system of Doppler weather surveillance radars known as WSR-88D or more popularly as NEXRAD helped transform radar ornithology in the United States into a field that today attracts considerable attention from scientists and laypersons alike. As interest in ornithological applications of WSR-88D grows, so does the need to provide perspective on its use. In this paper, we introduce WSR-88D and...
