Raindrop Size Distribution at NASA Wallops Flight Facility
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the Tropics more small drops and less large drops were found in oceanic precipitation than in continental precipitation at the given reflectivity. Similarly, more small drops and less large drops were found in remnants of a tropical cyclone than in frontal precipitation in mid-latitude site at the same reflectivity. The presence of small drops was higher in deep convective regime than in stratiform regime in a tropical convection at the same rain rate (Tokay and Short 1996).

Ground Based Rainfall Measurements at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility
The rainfall measurements collected at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility during the first 4 months of 2001 were analyzed to study the small-scale variability of rainfall and to evaluate the instruments performance with respect to each other. The instrument platform included impact and optical type disdrometers, tipping bucket rain gauges, and sonic anemometers. An X-band polarametric (X-POL) rad...
متن کاملFlight Test Comparison Between Enhanced Vision (FLIR) and Synthetic Vision Systems
Limited visibility and reduced situational awareness have been cited as predominant causal factors for both Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) and runway incursion accidents. NASA’s Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) project is developing practical application technologies with the goal of eliminating low visibility conditions as a causal factor to civil aircraft accidents while replicating the ...

The Wallops 18-Meter diameter UHF-Band and the Morehead State 21-Meter diameter current S-band and future XBand and UHF-Band CubeSat Groundstations answer a growing need for high data rate from CubeSats over government licensed frequencies. Ten years ago, when CubeSats began, they were nothing more than simple science experiments, typically consisting of a camera and a low data rate radio. The ...

We are developing a Sensor Web-relevant system called the Telesupervised Adaptive Ocean Sensor Fleet that uses a group of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration extended-deployment autonomous surface vehicles to enable in-situ study of surface and sub-surface characteristics of Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB). The architecture supports adaptive reconfiguration based on environmental sensor ...
