ATMOS 312 RADAR METEOROLOGY Chapter 1: COURSE OVERVIEW
Chapter 2: Electric and Magnetic fields Electromagnetic Propagation Electromagnetic Spectrum Polarization Beam propagation through the atmosphere Anomalous propagation
Chapter 3: Basic components of a radar, Characteristics of a microwave pulse, how microwave pulses are generated, transmitted, and received, quantities describing radar properties.
Chapter 4: Radar displays Plan Position Indicator display Range Height Indicator display
In Chapter 4, We will discuss the appearance of echoes, for example convective and stratiform, banded and not banded, and the reason for these different types of organization
We will also discuss displays of derived quantities and displays from non-conventional radars such as airborne radars
Chapters 5 and 6 Radar equations: Solitary targets Distributed targets Weather targets
Chapter 7: Relationship of Radar Reflectivity to other meteorological quantities Drop size distribution Rainfall Liquid water content
The Doppler Spectra and its relationship to turbulence and the drop size distribution
Chapter 9: Interpretation of Doppler Radar displays Stratiform echo
Convective storms Detection of rotation, Straight line winds, Microbursts
Chapter 10: Measurement of vertical wind profiles using VAD and wind profilers
Chapter 11: Dual Doppler retrieval of 3D Wind fields in storms
Chapter 12: Radar studies of weather systems Supercells MCSs Snowstorms Hurricanes Frontal Rainbands Lake Effect Snows
Chapter 14: Advanced Topics Single Doppler retrieval Of horizontal wind fields
Thermodynamic retrieval of pressure and thermal fields from three-dimensional Doppler-derived wind fields
