Simultaneous Airborne Measurements of Cloud Reflectance by a W-band Radar and Mid-infrared Lidar
This.&wwill describe contemporaneous measurements of cloud backscatter by a W-band radar and amid-infrared coherent lidar acquired during a mission aboard the NASA DC-8 research aircraft in summer of 1996. Conclusions gathered from intercomparison will be compared to the results from previous ground-based studies of a similar nature.
متن کاملTheory and Observations Between Ka-Band and W-Band to Explain Scattering Differences from Insects
Ground based Ka-band (33 GHz) cloud radar measurements collected at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site show that liquid cloud measurements are often contaminated by insect echoes during warm weather. Depolarization is one method of identifying and filtering insects from radar data. However, this technique often fails because the high number density of insect...
متن کاملObservations of Wintertime U.S. West Coast Precipitating Systems with W-Band Satellite Radar and Other Spaceborne Instruments
The potential of CloudSat W-band radar for observing wintertime storms affecting the West Coast of North America is evaluated. Storms having high hydrological impact often result from landfalls of ‘‘atmospheric rivers’’ (‘‘ARs’’), which are the narrow elongated regions of water vapor transport from the tropics. CloudSat measurements are used for retrievals of rain rate R and cloud ice water pat...
متن کاملMeasurement of Precipitation in the Alps Using Dual-Polarization C-Band Ground-Based Radars, the GPM Spaceborne Ku-Band Radar, and Rain Gauges
The complex problem of quantitative precipitation estimation in the Alpine region is tackled from four different points of view: (1) the modern MeteoSwiss network of automatic telemetered rain gauges (GAUGE); (2) the recently upgraded MeteoSwiss dual-polarization Doppler, ground-based weather radar network (RADAR); (3) a real-time merging of GAUGE and RADAR, implemented at MeteoSwiss, in which ...
متن کاملModified U-Slot Stacked Micro-Strip Patch Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Applications in S Band, C Band and X Band
The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...
