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.

Simultaneous Retrieval of Microphysical Parameters and Atmospheric State Variables with Radar Data and Ensemble Kalman Filter Method
Mingjing Tong
- 01 Aug 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, an ensemble Kalman filter is used to represent the probability density function (PDF) of the error and propagates the PDF through ensemble forecasts, which can be used for convective scale data assimilation.

A new method to separate ground clutter and atmospheric reflections in the case of similar Doppler velocities
TL;DR: This paper introduces a new ground clutter suppression technique which preserves weather echoes and uses both statistical and polarimetric properties of the target and clutter.
Computation of clear-air radar backscatter from numerical simulations of turbulence: 1. Numerical methods and evaluation of biases
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of secondary instability and turbulence accompanying Kelvin-Helmholtz shear instability and a numerical algorithm computing radar backscatter from these turbulence volumes are employed to examine the validity of routine assumptions employed in radar studies of atmospheric dynamics that rely on back scatter from refractive index fluctuations.

TL;DR: The effect of atmospheric propagation on radar observations is an important topic both for radar application developers and end-users of radar products, particularly of weather radar systems as discussed by the authors, and most general books about weather radars have a chapter on the topic, see for example Battan (1973), Collier (1996), Doviak and Zrnic (2006), Rinehart (2001) or Sauvageot (1991).
