Journal ArticleDOI
The WSR-88D Rainfall Algorithm
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed description of the operational WSR-88D rainfall estimation algorithm is presented, and the processing steps to quality control and compute the rainfall estimates are described, and current deficiencies and future plans for improvement are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time adjustment of range-dependent biases in WSR-88D rainfall estimates due to nonuniform vertical profile of reflectivity
TL;DR: In this article, a real-time adjustment of range-dependent biases in Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler version (WSR-88D) rainfall estimates due to nonuniform vertical profile of reflectivity is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radar and Multisensor Precipitation Estimation Techniques in National Weather Service Hydrologic Operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe techniques used operationally by the National Weather Service (NWS) to prepare gridded multisensor (gauge, radar, and satellite) quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) for input into hydrologic forecast models and decision-making systems for river forecasting, flood and flash flood warning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initiation of a Solitary Wave Family in the Demise of a Nocturnal Thunderstorm Density Current
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the characteristics and evolving nature of a vigorous thunderstorm density current very early in the morning of 9 May 1981 in Oklahoma, where the leading portion of the current was modulated by at least three gravity wavelike perturbations of horizontal spacing 12 km which initially coexisted with it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aircraft overflight measurements of Midwest severe storms : implications on geosynchronous satellite interpretations
TL;DR: The instrumented NASA ER-2 aircraft overflew severe convection with IR V features for the first time in the midwest United States during May 1984 as discussed by the authors, using visible and IR imagery, highfrequency passive microwave (92, 183 GHz) imagery, nadir lidar backscattered return, and flight altitude information.
