Real-time Quality Control of Reflectivity Data Using Satellite Infrared Channel and Surface Observations
Radar reflectivity data can be quality-controlled using just the radar moments, and several techniques have been proposed to do this. It is possible to use texture features as inputs to a neural network to discriminate between precipitating radar echoes, and echoes that correspond to clear-air return, ground clutter or anamalous propagation. A texture feature neural network that was recently de...
متن کاملA Technique to Censor Biological Echoes in Radar Reflectivity Data
Existing techniques of quality control of radar reflectivity data rely on local texture and vertical profiles to discriminate between precipitating echoes and non-precipitating echoes. Non-precipitating echoes may be due to artifacts such as anamalous propagation, ground clutter, electronic interference, sun strobe, and biological contaminants (i.e., birds, bats and insects). The local texture ...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction for Ka-band Cloud Radar Using X-band Weather Radar Data
In order to correct attenuated millimeter-wavelength (Ka-band) radar data and address the problem of instability, an attenuation correction methodology (attenuation correction with variation trend constraint; VTC) was developed. Using synchronous observation conditions and multi-band radars, the VTC method adopts the variation trends of reflectivity in X-band radar data captured with wavelet tr...
متن کاملMultiprocessor Implementation of a Texture Segmentation Scheme for Satellite Radar Images
This paper presents a scheme for segmenting images on the basis of differences in localised measures of spatial texture. The scheme used was originally proposed by Wilson and Spann [1] but incorporates a new clustering algorithm which gives improved overall segmentation performance. The Wilson and Spann [1] algorithm uses a clustering algorithm which proved susceptible to initial input paramete...
متن کاملDetection and estimation of reflectivity gradients in the radar resolution volume using multiparameter radar measurements
Multiparameter radar measurements of rainfall, namely, reflectivity factor ZH , differential reflectivity ZDR , and specific differential phase KDP lie in a constrained threedimensional (3-D) space and therefore measurement of ZH , ZDR , or KDP should be consistent with the other two. This selfconsistency relationship between ZH , ZDR , and KDP is valid when the radar resolution volume is homog...
