Long‐term observations of the Arctic mesosphere with the MST radar at Poker Flat, Alaska
Warner L. Ecklund,Ben B. Balsley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the results of 22 months of observations of Arctic mesosphere echoes with the 50-MHz radar at Poker Flat, Alaska and conclude that during summer months the mesospheric echoes are relatively continuous in time and extend from about 80 to 100 km with an unexpectedly strong peak in signal-to-noise ratio at about 85 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developments in UHF lower tropospheric wind profiling at NOAA's Aeronomy Laboratory
D. A. Carter,Kenneth S. Gage,Warner L. Ecklund,Wayne M. Angevine,Paul E. Johnston,A. C. Riddle,J. S. Wilson,Christopher R. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: An overview of the architecture of the UHF profiler system as it has evolved over the past decade including the development of radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) capabilities is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of Precipitating Clouds in the Tropics Using 915-MHz Wind Profilers
TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm was developed that classifies precipitating clouds into either stratiform, mixed stratiform/convective, deep convective, or shallow convective clouds by analyzing the vertical structure of reflectivity, velocity, and spectral width derived from measurements made with the vertical beam of a 915-MHz Doppler wind profiler.
Journal ArticleDOI
A UHF Wind Profiler for the Boundary Layer: Brief Description and Initial Results
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary layer radar was developed at NOAA's Aeronomy Laboratory for use in a hybrid mode with existing 50 MHz profilers in the tropical Pacific, and the system can equally be a stand-alone device to study boundary layer problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a Rayleigh-Taylor type instability and upwelling of depleted density regions during equatorial spread F
Michael C. Kelley,G. Haerendel,H. Kappler,A. Valenzuela,Ben B. Balsley,D. A. Carter,Warner L. Ecklund,C. W. Carlson,B. Hausler,R. Torbert +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Rayleigh-Taylor gravitational instability operating on the bottom side of the F peak is explained for strong radar echoes typically observed in patch-like structures at high altitudes.
