Doppler radar spectral width broadening due to beamwidth and wind shear
The spectral width observed by Doppler radars can be due to several eects including the atmospheric turbulence within the radar sample volume plus eects associated with the background ̄ow and the radar geometry and con®guration. This study re-examines simple models for the eects due to ®nite beamwidth and vertical shear of the horizontal wind. Analytic solutions of 1and 2-dimensional models ...
متن کاملUse of Wind-Shear Displays for Doppler Radar Data
The usefulness of displaying vertical wind shear on a radar range height indicator is demonstrated. Fine structure in the pattern of shear is shown to be helpful for inferring general flow patterns and the occurrence of billows due to shearing (Kelvin–Helmholtz) instability. Corresponding author address: Prof. Keith A. Browning, Joint Centre for Mesoscale Meteorology, Department of Meteorology,...
متن کاملWind observations with Doppler weather radar
Introduction Weather radars are commonly employed for detection and ranging of precipitation, but radars with Doppler capability can also provide detailed information on the wind associated with (severe) weather phenomena. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) operates two identical C-band (5.6 Ghz) Doppler weather radars. One radar is located in De Bilt and the other one is loc...
متن کاملTerminal Doppler Weather Radar/Low-Level Wind Shear Alert System Integration Algorithm Specification. Version 1.1
There will be a number of airports that receive both a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) windshear detection system and a phase III Low Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS). At those airports, the two systems will need to be combined into a single windshear detection system. This report specifies the algorithm to be used to integrate the two subsystems. The algorithm takes in the alphanume...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of mean Doppler and spectral width
This paper proposes a new nonparametric method for estimation of spectral moments of a zero-mean Gaussian process immersed in additive white Gaussian noise. Although the technique is valid for any order moment, particular attention is given to the mean Doppler (first moment) and to the spectral width (square root of the centered second-spectral moment). By assuming that the power spectral densi...
