Calibration of the Doppler on Wheels System Gain using Solar Flux
نویسنده
چکیده
A convenient method of calibrating mobile weather radar is presented. This method utilizes the relationship between solar flux and power to calculate the effective system gain. On 14 April 2002 the Doppler On Wheels (DOW) was utilized to measure the maximum solar power emitted by the Sun at 2136 UTC. Using the solar flux measured by the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticon, British Columbia the DOW system gain was calculated.

Large - scale horizontal flows in the solar photosphere I Method and tests on synthetic data
We propose a useful method for mapping large-scale velocity fields in the solar photosphere. It is based on the local correlation tracking algorithm when tracing supergranules in full-disc dopplergrams. The method was developed using synthetic data. The data processing the data are transformed during the data processing into a suitable coordinate system, the noise is removed, and finally the ve...
متن کاملUsing turbidity and acoustic backscatter intensity as surrogate measures of suspended sediment concentration in a small subtropical estuary.
The suspended sediment concentration is a key element in stream monitoring, although the turbidity and acoustic Doppler backscattering may be suitable surrogate measures. Herein a series of new experiments were conducted in laboratory under controlled conditions using water and mud samples collected in a small subtropical estuary of Eastern Australia. The relationship between suspended sediment...

One of the methods for increasing the gain in the photovoltaic systems is using the solar tracker system which during the whole of day, align the solar panels in the proper position with respect to the sun position. In this study, a solar tracker in the form of smart light curtain was designed and prepared. This simple and smart tracker detects the direction of the sun radiation by using three ...
متن کاملClusters of galaxies in the microwave band: influence of the motion of the Solar System
In this work we consider the changes of the SZ cluster brightness, flux and number counts induced by the motion of the Solar System with respect to the frame defined by the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These changes are connected with the Doppler effect and aberration and exhibit a strong spectral and spatial dependence. The correction to the SZ cluster brightness and flux has an amplitud...
