Eddy turbulence parameters inferred from radar observations at Jicamarca
Significant electron density striations, neutral temperatures 27 K above nominal, and intense wind shear were observed in the E-region ionosphere over the Jicamarca Radio Observatory during an unusual event on 26 July 2005 (Hysell et al., 2007). In this paper, these results are used to estimate eddy turbulence parameters and their effects. Models for the thermal balance in the mesosphere/lower ...
متن کاملEstimation of temperature and humidity from MST radar observations
Retrieval of vertical profiles of temperature and humidity parameters using a VHF radar is described in this paper. For this, Indian MST radar located at Gadanki (13.5◦ N, 79.2◦ E) has been operated in a special mode. First, vertical velocities are collected continuously using the radar and are subjected to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to obtain Brunt-Väisälä oscillations. From the mea...
متن کاملEstimation of Raindrop Size Distribution Parameters from Polarimetric Radar Measurements
Estimation of raindrop size distribution over large spatial and temporal scales has been a long-standing goal of polarimetric radar. Algorithms to estimate the parameters of a gamma raindrop size distribution model from polarimetric radar observations of reflectivity, differential reflectivity, and specific differential phase are developed. Differential reflectivity is the most closely related ...
متن کاملEstimation of polarization parameters in radar meteorology
In this paper Cramer-Rao lower bounds are presented on the estimation accuracy of any unbi-ased estimator of key polarimetric parameters in radar meteorology. The analysis is carried out by using a widely-accepted model for radar meteorology { the multivariate Gaussian model (Rayleigh fading) { along with the assumptions that the time series of horizontally and vertically polarized echoes are a...
متن کاملData Assimilation to Extract Soil Moisture Information from SMAP Observations
This study compares different methods to extract soil moisture information through the assimilation of Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observations. Neural network (NN) and physically-based SMAP soil moisture retrievals were assimilated into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Catchment model over the contiguous United States for April 2015 to March 2017. By constructio...
