TL;DR: In this paper, the agile-beam multimission phased array radar (MPAR) discussed in this paper is one potential candidate that can provide faster scanning and offers a unique potential for multipurpose use to not only sample weather, but support air traffic needs and track noncooperative airplanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Variational Method for the Analysis of Three-Dimensional Wind Fields from Two Doppler Radars
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new method of dual-Doppler radar analysis based on a variational approach, in which a cost function is minimized through a limited memory, quasi-Newton conjugate gradient algorithm with the mass continuity equation imposed as a weak constraint.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Unified Theory for the Great Plains Nocturnal Low-Level Jet
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the Great Plains low-level jet in which the jet emerges in the sloping atmospheric boundary layer as the nocturnal phase of an oscillation arising from diurnal variations in turbulent diffusivity (Blackadar mechanism) and surface buoyancy (Holton mechanism).
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Doppler Velocity Retrievals with Phoenix II Data: Clear Air and Microburst Wind Retrievals in the Planetary Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional single-Doppler velocity retrieval is introduced and tested with reflectivity and radial velocity data gathered during the Phoenix II field program near Boulder, Colorado.
A Unified Theory for the Great Plains Nocturnal Low-Level Jet
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the Great Plains low-level jet in which the jet emerges in the sloping atmospheric boundary layer as the nocturnal phase of an oscillation arising from diurnal variations in turbulent diffusivity (Blackadar mechanism) and surface buoyancy (Holton mechanism).
