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.

Spectrum Width Measured by WSR-88D: Error Sources and Statistics of Various Weather Phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified weather phenomena into seven categories based on radar observations, and the statistics of the censored spectrum width fields for each of the categories are obtained, including fair weather without birds, stratiform rain and snow, and isolated tornadic storms.

The New French Operational Polarimetric Radar Rainfall Rate Product
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the three versions of radar rainfall algorithms (conventional, polarimetric V1, and polarIMetric V2) at different frequency bands (S, C, and X) is evaluated by processing radar data of significant events offline and comparing hourly radar.

Toward elucidating the microstructure of warm rainfall: a survey
TL;DR: The state of the science with respect to the physical dynamics of hydrometeors and the transient processes that affect the temporal evolution of rainfall microstructure and that are directly relevant to the quantitative interpretation of radar rainfall measurements and explicit numerical simulations are surveyed in this paper.

A Real-Time Four-Dimensional Doppler Dealiasing Scheme
Curtis N. James,Robert A. Houze +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new dealiasing scheme uses the full four-dimensionalality available in an operational Doppler radar data stream, and examines one tilt angle at a time, beginning at the highest elevation where clutter is minimal and gate-to-gate shear is typically low compared to the Nyquist velocity.
Quantification of Path-Integrated Attenuation for X- and C-Band Weather Radar Systems Operating in Mediterranean Heavy Rainfall
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify attenuation effects that X and C-band weather radar systems may experience in heavy rainfall using power-law relationships between the attenuation coefficient k (dB km21) and the rain rate R (mm h21).
