Comparison of horizontal wind observed by wind profiler radars with ERA5 reanalysis data in Anhui, China

LIGHTNING OBSERVATIONS at UHF and VHF with WIND-PROFILER RADARS IN PUERTO RICO

During September and October 1998, a thunderstorm experiment was carried out at NAIC in Puerto Rico, an island located in the tropics. An experimental set up was deployed on the site including UHF and VHF wind-profiler radars, an electrical field mill and a disdrometer while radiosoundings are launched twice a day in a separate place of the island, and a NexRad radar scans all over the island. ...

New Observations by Wind Profiling Radars

The Value of Wind Profiler Data in U.s. Weather Forecasting

DECEMBER 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) has operated a network of 404-MHz tropospheric wind profilers since 1992 (online at www.profiler.noaa.gov/jsp/aboutNpnProfilers.jsp; van de Kamp 1993; Weber et al. 1990). Most of these platforms operate over the central United States, with the exception o...

Wind Shear Detection with Airport Surveillance Radars

Airport surveillance radars (ASR) utilize a broad, cosecant-squared elevation beam pattern, rapid azimuthal antenna scanning, and coherent pulsed-Doppler processing to detect. and track approaching and departing aircraft. These radars, because of location, rapid scan rate, and direct air traffic control (ATe) data link, can also provide flight controllers with timely information on weather cond...

Wind Retrieval using Marine Radars

Within the High Resolution Air-Sea Interaction (HiRes) DRI the Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), former NATO Undersea Research Center, will develop and validate methodologies to retrieve wind field parameters from X-band marine radars. The main parameters are the mean surface wind vector; the high-resolution wind field, as well as wind gusts in vicinity of the measurement...
