Attenuation Correction for Ka-band Cloud Radar Using X-band Weather Radar Data
In order to correct attenuated millimeter-wavelength (Ka-band) radar data and address the problem of instability, an attenuation correction methodology (attenuation correction with variation trend constraint; VTC) was developed. Using synchronous observation conditions and multi-band radars, the VTC method adopts the variation trends of reflectivity in X-band radar data captured with wavelet tr...
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 کاملuse of high-resolution x-band weather radar for areal rainfall estimation in small catchments
abstract obtaining reliable precipitation observations is important for hydrological simulations and weather forecasting. radar data can provide insight in the spatial variation of precipitation and can also detect large areas of rain and estimate rainfall rates. weather radar systems nearly always operate in s-, c- or x-band. since x-band systems require smaller antennas than those at c- or s-...
متن کاملOn Shipboard Marine X-Band Radar Near-Surface Current ‘‘Calibration’’
The ocean wave signatures within conventional noncoherent marine X-band radar (MR) image sequences can be used to derive near-surface current information. On ships, an accurate near-real-time record of the near-surface current could improve navigational safety. It could also advance understanding of air–sea interaction processes. The standard shipboard MR near-surface current estimates were fou...
متن کاملDifferential power calibration for weather radar
Dual polarized weather radars, radars that can transmit both horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarized waves, are becoming more common in the world. Dual polarization is accomplished via fast alternate transmission of H and V polarization or simultaneous H and V polarization transmission. The simultaneous H and V transmit mode is becoming quite popular since a high power, costly, polarization s...
