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.

Estimation of Raindrop Size Distribution and Rainfall Rate from Polarimetric Radar Measurements at Attenuating Frequency Based on the Self-Consistency Principle
TL;DR: In this article, a method for estimating three parameters of a gamma raindrop size distribution (DSD) model and the rainfall rate from polarimetric radar at attenuating frequency was developed.

Christopher M. Schwarz
- 27 Sep 2011
TL;DR: In this article, a general overview of the observations and evolution seen at X-band (3-cm) wavelength is given, where the authors provide a summary of storm evolution obtained from the NOAA (NSSL) XBand Polarized (NOXP) mobile weather radar during the Verification of the ORigins of Tornadoes EXperiment, Part 2 (VORTEX2) field project.

The correlation between lightning and DSD parameters
TL;DR: The number of lightning strokes that struck a fixed region about the Clemson Atmospheric Research Laboratory (CARL) in Clemson, SC were correlated to characteristics of the drop size distribution (DSD), which showed that a power law fit adequately correlates both /spl Lambda/ and N/sub 0/ to the number of Lightning strokes per hour per square mile.
