Journal ArticleDOI
A New Look at the Melting Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a relationship between the vertical Doppler spectrum of the rain just below the radar bright band and that of the snow just above, assuming that each snowflake simply melts to form a raindrop of the same mass, disregarding other possible effects such as aggregation to form larger particles or breakup to create smaller ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of auroral currents measured by the Chatanika Radar With 50‐MHz backscatter observed from Anchorage
TL;DR: In this article, the Chatanika incoherent scatter radar was compared with VHF backscatter observed in a comparable spatial area by the 50-MHz auroral radar located at Anchorage, and the authors found that the D region absorption, occurring in concert with the morning (westward) electrojet, can significantly decrease the observed scatter amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Combined Sensor Program: An Air-Sea Science Mission in the Central and Western Pacific Ocean

TL;DR: The Combined Sensor Program (CSP) as discussed by the authors used a unique combination of in situ, satellite, and remote sensors to better understand relationships between atmospheric and oceanic variables that affect radiative balance in this climatically important region.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new look at radar auroral motions
TL;DR: In this article, three modifications were temporarily added to the NOAA radar auroral backscatter facility located at Anchorage, Alaska, which provided data relevant to understanding both the microscopic and the macroscopic nature of the radar aurora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity wave activity in vertical winds observed by the Poker Flat MST Radar
TL;DR: In this article, over 30 days of nearly continuous observations of the vertical wind up to 20 km obtained using part of the MST radar at Poker Flat, Alaska, are presented.
