Weather radar rainfall data in urban hydrology
Application of weather radar data in urban hydrological applications has evolved significantly during the past decade as an alternative to traditional rainfall observations with rain gauges. Advances in radar hardware, data processing, numerical models, and emerging fields within urban hydrology necessitate an updated review of the state of the art in such radar rainfall data and applications. ...
متن کاملClassifying Urban Rainfall Extremes Using Weather Radar Data: An Application to the Greater New York Area
Extreme rainfall events, specifically in urban areas, have dramatic impacts on society and can lead to loss of life and property.Despite these hazards, little is known about the city-scale variability of heavy rainfall events. In the current study, gridded stage IV radar data from 2002 to 2015 are employed to investigate the clustering and the spatial variability of simultaneous rainfall exceed...
متن کاملComparison of radar data versus rainfall data
Doppler radar data are increasingly used in rainfall-runoff synthesis studies, perhaps due to radar data availability, among other factors. However, the veracity of the radar data are often a topic of concern. In this paper, three Doppler radar outcomes developed by the United States National Weather Service at three radar sites are examined and compared to actual rain gage data for two separat...
متن کاملFiltering weather radar AP echoes with MSG observations and NWP data
Climatological atmospheric observations indicate that statistical normal propagation is associated to vertical refractive index gradients of the first kilometer of the atmosphere (VRG) between -39 and 40 km. When this condition is verified the beam path of the electromagnetic waves are curved towards the terrestrial surface, with a smaller curvature than the average Earth's surface curvature. T...
متن کاملEfficient Storage of Weather Radar Data
Weather radars produce large amounts of data and this has important implications for the archiving and analysis of data. The need for methods to deal with weather radar data sets will only increase as the United States National Weather Service (NWS) continues deployment of its 137 WSR-88D radars as part of the NEXRAD program. In this article we describe a compression and archiving strategy for ...
