Towards Better Utilization of NEXRAD Data in Hydrology: An Overview of Hydro-NEXRAD [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2007, 2010
With a very modest investment in computer hardware and the open-source local data manager (LDM) software from University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Unidata Program Center, a researcher can receive a variety of NEXRAD Level III rainfall ...

Hydro-NEXRAD: An Updated Overview And Metadata Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hydroinformatics, 2008
Hydro-NEXRAD is a prototype system that allows hydrologists to obtain user-specified rainfall data for their research. These data are based on observations collected by the national network of WSR-88D radars, known as NEXRAD.

Normalization of NEXRAD antenna gain for overlapping radars

open access: yesIEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 1999 Digest. Held in conjunction with: USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting (Cat. No.99CH37010), 1999
The NOAA National Weather Service operates a network of NEXRAD Doppler meteorological radars to measure severe weather, and precipitation is inferred from the volume scattering from hydrometeors.

Within-Night Variation in Predictor Importance Highlights Dynamic Nature of Bird Migration. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Lett
Bar chart summarising median percent of gain contributed by each predictor type (atmospheric, sampling and terrestrial) for each timestep after sunset for spring (left) and fall (right) bird migration seasons. Predictor types are denoted by different colours.

Structuring the skies: Diel dynamics of migratory animal movement in the lower atmosphere. [PDF]

open access: yesEcology
Abstract Earth's lower atmosphere is a vital ecological habitat, home to trillions of organisms that live, forage, and migrate through this medium. Despite its importance, this space is seldom considered a primary habitat for ecological or conservation prioritization, making it one of the least studied environments.

Multiple Radar Data Merging In Hydro-NEXRAD

open access: yesWorld Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2008, 2008
The Hydro-NEXRAD merging algorithms include two options: (1) data-based merging; and (2) product-based merging. Data-based merging algorithm takes volume scan reflectivity data from all radars involved through preprocessing algorithm that performs volume
