Rainfall estimation and ground clutter rejection with dual polarization weather radar
Conventional radars, used for atmospheric remote sensing, usually operate at a single polarization and frequency to estimate storm parameters such as rainfallrate and water content. Because of the high variability of the drop size distribution conventional radars do not succeed in obtaining detailed information because they just use horizontal reflectivity. The potentiality of the dual-polarize...
متن کاملAn Objective Prototype-Based Method for Dual-Polarization Radar Clutter Identification
A prototype-based method is developed to discriminate different types of clutter (ground clutter, sea clutter, and insects) from weather echoes using polarimetric measurements and their textures. This method employs a clustering algorithm to generate data groups from the training dataset, each of which is modeled as a weighted Gaussian distribution called a “prototype.” Two classification algor...
متن کاملDevelopment of Dual Polarization Aviation Weather Products for the Faa*
In the United States, the WSR-88D (NEXRAD) Doppler weather radar network will be upgraded with a dual polarization capability (Istok et al., 2009) beginning in late 2010. This will allow for type characterization of bulk scatterers (hydrometeor classification) in addition to the standard radar moments. Knowing which scatterers dominate a radar return offers physical insight into underlying atmo...
متن کاملThree-stage inversion improvement for forest height estimation using dual-PolInSAR data
This paper addresses an algorithm for forest height estimation using single frequency single baseline dual polarization radar interferometry data. The proposed method is based on a physical two layer volume over ground model and is represented using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry (PolInSAR) technique. The presented algorithm provides the opportunity to take advantages of t...
متن کاملA Study of Dry Microburst Detection with Airport Surveillance Radars
This report evaluates the capability of Airport Surveillance Radars (ASRs) for the detection of low altitude wind shear associated with the outflows of dry microbursts. It describes results of simulations of dry microburst observations by an ASR. These simulations incorporated weather and clutter data collected by the FL-2 pencil-beam Doppler weather radar at Denver Stapleton Airport in 1988 an...
