Rapid-Scan Super-Resolution Observations of a Cyclic Supercell with a Dual-Polarization WSR-88D

Rainfall Estimation with a Polarimetric Prototype of WSR-88D

As part of the Joint Polarization Experiment (JPOLE), the National Severe Storms Laboratory conducted an operational demonstration of the polarimetric utility of the Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN), Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). The capability of the KOUN radar to estimate rainfall is tested on a large dataset representing different seasons and different types of rain. A dense gaug...

P1.12 a Multidisciplinary Approach to Wsr-88d Data Quality Assurance

Through experience and several field investigations, the Radar Operations Center (ROC) learned that efforts to optimize radars must be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team composed of both t echnicians and meteorologists, with weather radar-related experience in their respective fields. At the ROC, located in Norman, OK, a Data Quality (DQ) team peruses the WSR-88D network daily, proactively ...

P3.1 Extending the capabilities of the polarimetric WSR-88D: Observations of cirrus clouds and moist layers

P6.4 Polarimetric Prototype of the Wsr-88d Radar Observations of Birds and Insects

Biological echoes are treated as contamination like ground or sea clutters by radar meteorologists as they estimate rainfall intensities or assimilate radar reflectivity into numerical forecast model. Doppler velocity measured by radar in the presence of small insects well represents air motion because small insects are considered as passive tracers. But in the presence of birds especially migr...
