Statistical Significance of Gabor Frames Expansions - Simple Filtering Principles for Radar Wind Profiler Data
A new signal processing method is presented for the suppression of intermittent clutter echoes in radar wind profilers. The technique presented makes use of a discrete Gabor frame expansion in combination with a statistical significance test. The rationale of this algorithm is outlined and an example using data obtained with an operational 482 MHz wind profiler is given.
متن کاملRadar wind profiler signal characteristics during bird migration episodes
The Gabor transform is used to investigate non-stationary wind profiler radar signals, which are frequently occurring during the seasonal bird migration. It is shown that the Gabor phase space representation contains a wealth of information and can be effectively used to separate the atmospheric signal component from the clutter. The crucial role of the dwell time as one of the primary sampling...
متن کاملRadar wind profiler observations of solar semidiurnal atmospheric tides
Semidiurnal solar tides in the mid-latitude troposphere are investigated using harmonic analysis of 404 MHz radar profiler wind data obtained from a wide longitude zone in the U.S. The tides are apparent above a 1000-m-deep surface layer and increase in amplitude with height, attaining speeds of 0.5-0.7 rn/s at 5-7 km. Observed wind characteristics agree well with tidal characteristics obtained...
متن کاملSignal Processing and Data Acquisition for Wind Profiler Using Labview
This paper presents the design of Wind Profiler using LabVIEW. Wind speed is a useful weather parameter to monitor and record for many applications like shipping, aviation, meteorology, construction etc. Wind observations are crucial importance for general (operational) aviation meteorology, and numerical weather prediction. Wind profiler radars are vertically directed pulsed Doppler radars cap...
متن کاملEvaluation of Microphysical Retrievals from Polarimetric Radar with Wind Profiler Data
Polarimetric radar data have been used to produce microphysical classifications. This kind of analysis is run in a real-time mode from several research radars, including the C-band polarimetric (C-Pol) radar in Darwin, Australia. However, these classifications have had very little systematic evaluation with independent data. Using surface data is often difficult because of sampling issues, part...
