The Weather Radar Set An/CPS-9 at McCulloch Peak,
Oregon, provided data of changes in radar precipitation
echo patterns in the vicinity of Marys Peak. Echo heights
studied from data collected on 14 March 1963 averaged nearly
the same upwind, directly over Marys Peak, and downwind.
For the data of 28...
The WSR-57 weather radar operated by the National
Weather Service at Sacramento, California, plus a network
of precipitation gages provided data for this comparison
of radar reflectivity with precipitation rates. Located
in a valley with mountains within range of the radar on
three sides, this radar has varying sensitivity for...
This paper discusses the theoretical design parameters of
photographic data recording systems associated with atmospheric
research radar. Practical considerations modify these theoretical
results. The design of a recording system employed on the Range
Height Indicator (RHI) scope of the weather Radar Set AN/CPS-9
atop McCulloch Peak, Oregon, illustrates the optimization...
This study examines in detail a continuous drop-size distribution
recorder and selected data gathered with this recorder at
various locations on 6, 15, and 31 May 1966. The drop-size distribution
recorder consists of a self-contained, mobile unit able to
operate without electric power. This recorder utilizes "Ozalid 105
SZ" filter...
