MST radar and polarization lidar observations of tropical cirrus [PDF]
Significant gaps in our understanding of global cirrus effects on the climate system involve the role of frequently occurring tropical cirrus. Much of the cirrus in the atmosphere is largely due to frequent cumulus and convective activity in the ...

Numerical study on signatures of atmospheric convective cells in radar images of the ocean
Current and wind variations at the ocean surface can give rise to a modulation of the sea surface roughness and thus become visible in radar images. The discrimination between radar signatures of oceanic and atmospheric phenomena can be quite difficult ...

Radar techniques can be a powerful adjunct for studying meteor storms in general because of their sensitivity, capacity for continuous observations and their use of current techniques facilitating the handling of data. While some radars are limited to only a range-time presentation (and so adequate for a time-profile description of a storm event), some

Radar-to-Radar Interference Suppression for Distributed Radar Sensor Networks [PDF]
Radar sensor networks, including bi- and multi-static radars, provide several operational advantages, like reduced vulnerability, good system flexibility and an increased radar cross-section. However, radar-to-radar interference suppression is a major problem in distributed radar sensor networks.

Chaff identification method based on Range‐Doppler imaging feature
Chaff is widely used in electronic countermeasures as an effective passive jamming method. This study proposes a chaff identification method that integrates the distribution of distance, Doppler frequency, and power in Range‐Doppler imaging.

Incoherent Integration Detection Method of Airborne Phased Array Radar in a Multipath Environment
Airborne phased array radar (PAR) suffers from multipath problems when flying over a calm sea surface. The existence of a multipath phenomenon will cause the electromagnetic echo of the same target to be reflected back to the airborne PAR from two paths,

Dual-polarization radar rainfall estimation in Korea according to raindrop shapes obtained by using a 2-D video disdrometer [PDF]
Polarimetric measurements are sensitive to the sizes, concentrations, orientations, and shapes of raindrops. Thus, rainfall rates calculated from polarimetric radar are influenced by the raindrop shapes and canting.
