Ensemble Assimilation of Doppler Radar Observations

The final goal of this project is to provide the US Navy with an increased capability of using Doppler radar observations in the detection and prediction of hazardous weather events that usually have a strong randomness in nature and affect the Navy operations, especially over oceans and in remote areas. By developing a high-resolution data assimilation capability that can effectively assimilat...

Use of Doppler Radar in Meteorological Observations

The U.S. IVeather Bureau has been experimenting with a radar operating on the Doppler principle t o dc%ermine whether apparatus of this type would detect and uniquely identify tornadoes. The principles of Doppler radar as applied to meteorology and results of recent experiment,s with equipment of this type are discussed. Calculations of anomalous wind speeds of 206 m.p.h. in a funnel cloud and ...

Wind observations with Doppler weather radar

Introduction Weather radars are commonly employed for detection and ranging of precipitation, but radars with Doppler capability can also provide detailed information on the wind associated with (severe) weather phenomena. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) operates two identical C-band (5.6 Ghz) Doppler weather radars. One radar is located in De Bilt and the other one is loc...
