Efficient Methods of Clutter Suppression for Coexisting Land and Weather Clutter Systems

Discrimination between Weather and Sea Clutter

The results of automatic discrimination between weather and sea clutter using S-band dual-polarization Doppler weather radar are presented. The data were collected with the NCAR SPOL radar located in the Pacific shoreline near Seattle, USA. The multiparameter dataset includes backscattered power P (or radar reflectivity Z), Doppler velocity V, spectrum width σv, differential reflectivity ZDR (p...

Anomalous Propagation Ground Clutter Suppression with the Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) Weather Systems Processor (WSP)

Ground-elutter breakthrough caused by anomalous propagation (AP}----ducting of the radar beam when passing through significant atmospheric temperature and/or moisture gradients-is a significant issue for air traffic controllers who use Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) weather channel data to guide aircraft through the airport terminal area. At present, these data are often contaminated with AP,...

Data Driven Adaptive Identification and Suppression of Ground Clutter for Weather Radar

An innovative approach for the suppression of ground clutter (GC) contributions from weather radar data is presented. Most of the existing adaptive spectral GC filters (GCF) need a prior knowledge of clutter position, strength and its spectral characteristics. This knowledge is irrelevant for the presented approach because the identification and suppression are entirely data driven. The new app...
