An Investigation of NEXRAD-Based Quantitative Precipitation Estimates in Alaska [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Precipitation estimation by weather radars in Alaska is challenging. In this study, we investigate National Weather Service (NWS) precipitation products that are produced from the seven NEXRAD radar sites in Alaska.

Effects of Probabilistic Risk Situation Awareness Tool (RSAT) on Aeronautical Weather-Hazard Decision Making [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
We argue that providing cumulative risk as an estimate of the uncertainty in dynamically changing risky environments can help decision-makers meet mission-critical goals.

An attempt to calibrate the UHF strato-tropospheric radar at Arecibo using NexRad radar and disdrometer data [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2004
The goal of this paper is to present a methodology to calibrate the reflectivity of the UHF Strato-Tropospheric (ST) radar located at NAIC in Puerto Rico. The UHF lower relevant altitude is at 5.9km, the melting layer being at around 4.8km.
