Abstract: This book reviews the principles of Doppler radar and emphasizes the quantitative measurement of meteorological parameters. It illustrates the relation of Doppler radar data and images to atmospheric phenomena such as tornadoes, microbursts, waves, turbulence, density currents, hurricanes, and lightning.
Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this text was written by two scientists at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Topics include electromagnetic waves and propagation, weather signals and their Doppler spectra, weather signal processing, measurements of precipitation and turbulence, and observations of winds and storms as well as fair weather. Radar images and photographs of weather phenomena highlight the text.

A stochastic approach to short-term rainfall prediction using a physically based conceptual rainfall model
TL;DR: An improved method for short-term rainfall prediction is presented and a previously proposed deterministic rainfall prediction method for real-time hydrologic applications is extended to a stochastic method.

The theory of functionals of stochastic backscattered fields
TL;DR: In this article, a new analytic method is developed and generalized for solving problems of radar imaging, which involves analytic determination of the functionals of stochastic backscattered fields and can be applied to solve a wide class of physical problems with allowance for the finite width of an antenna's pattern.

Rainfall Accuracy Considerations Using Radar and Rain Gauge Networks for Rainfall-Runoff Monitoring
Baxter E. Vieux,Jean E. Vieux +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of radar and rain gauges is used to characterize the distribution of rainfall in urban areas, and the median accuracy of a 55-event series has a median average difference of ±8%.
A Study on the Interpolation of Fire Danger Using Radar Precipitation Estimates
Flannigan,B. M. Wotton,S Ziga +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, three methods of interpolation of the fire danger between weather stations were compared: first, the standard practice of interpolating fire weather indexes from weather stations to any specified location; second, interpolating the weather variables, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and precipitation from the weather station to a specified site and then calculating the fire weather index for any specified site.

Real-time monitoring of weather radar antenna pointing using digital terrain elevation and a Bayes clutter classifier
TL;DR: A novel technique to monitor continuously the azimuthal pointing accuracy of a weather radar antenna by cross-correlating between modelled and measured echoes from ground clutter in real-time at low elevation angles under precipitation and non-precipitation conditions is presented.
