Visualization of Local Rainfall from Weather Radar Measurements
Weather radars can measure the backscatter from rain drops in the atmosphere. A complete radar scan provides three–dimensional precipitation information. For the understanding of the underlying atmospheric processes the interactive visualization of these data sets is necessary. This task is, however, difficult due to the size and structure of the data and due to the neccessity of putting the da...
متن کاملAn ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar image of a tropical squall line compared with weather radar data
A radar image acquired by the C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) aboard the European Remote Sensing satellite ERS-2 over the coastal waters south of Singapore showing radar signatures of a strong tropical squall line (“Sumatra Squall”) is compared with coincident and collocated weather radar data. Squall line features such as the gust front, areas of updraft convergence, and rain areas are i...
متن کاملDual-polarization C-band weather radar algorithms for rain rate estimation and hydrometeor classification in an alpine region
Dual polarization is becoming the standard for new weather radar systems. In contrast to conventional weather radars, where the reflectivity is measured in one polarization plane only, a dual polarization radar provides transmission in either horizontal, vertical, or both polarizations while receiving both the horizontal and vertical channels simultaneously. Since hydrometeors are often far fro...
متن کاملRainfall rate retrieval in presence of path attenuation using C-band polarimetric weather radars
Weather radar systems are very suitable tools for the monitoring of extreme rainfall events providing measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution over a wide geographical area. Nevertheless, radar rainfall retrieval at C-band is prone to several error sources, such as rain path attenuation which affects the accuracy of inversion algorithms. In this paper, the so-called rain profiling...
متن کاملStatistical and neural classifiers in estimating rain rate from weather radar measurements
Weather radars are used to measure the electromagnetic radiation backscattered by cloud raindrops. Clouds that backscatter more electromagnetic radiation consist of larger droplets of rain and therefore they produce more rain. The idea is to estimate rain rate by using weather radar as an alternative to rain-gauges measuring rainfall on the ground. In an experiment during two days in June and A...
