Mapping Wintering Waterfowl Distributions Using Weather Surveillance Radar
The current network of weather surveillance radars within the United States readily detects flying birds and has proven to be a useful remote-sensing tool for ornithological study. Radar reflectivity measures serve as an index to bird density and have been used to quantitatively map landbird distributions during migratory stopover by sampling birds aloft at the onset of nocturnal migratory flig...
متن کاملDoppler Radar for USA Weather Surveillance
Weather radar had its beginnings at the end of Word War II when it was noticed that storms clutter radar displays meant to reveal enemy aircraft. Thus radar meteorology was born. Until the sixties only the return power from weather tracers was measured which offered the first glimpses into precipitation structure hidden inside clouds. Possibilities opened up to recognize hail storms, regions of...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of X-band weather radar attenuation correction accuracy
At short wavelengths, especially C-, X-, and Kband, weather radar signals are attenuated by the precipitation along their paths. This constitutes a major source of error for radar rainfall estimation, in particular for intense precipitation. A recently developed stochastic simulator of range profiles of raindrop size distributions (DSD) provides a controlled experiment framework to investigate ...
متن کامل8.2 New Weather-surveillance Capabilities for Nssl’s Phased-array Radar
The U.S. Government operates seven distinct radar networks providing weather and aircraft surveillance for public weather services, air traffic control, and homeland defense. A next-generation, multifunction phased array radar (MPAR) concept has been proposed that could provide enhanced weather and aircraft surveillance services with potentially lower life-cycle costs than multiple single-funct...
متن کاملDetection and discrimination of fauna in the aerosphere using Doppler weather surveillance radar.
Organisms in the aerosphere have been detected by radar since its development in the 1940s. The national network of Doppler weather radars (WSR-88D) in the United States can readily detect birds, bats, and insects aloft. Level-II data from the radar contain information on the reflectivity and radial velocity of targets and on width of the spectrum (SD of radial velocities in a radar pulse volum...
