tailieunhanh - DOPPLER RADAR OBSERVATIONS – WEATHER RADAR, WIND PROFILER, IONOSPHERIC RADAR, AND OTHER ADVANCED APPLICATIONS

Over the last decades Doppler radar systems have been instrumental to improve our understanding and monitoring capabilities of phenomena and processes taking place in the low, middle, and upper atmosphere. Weather radars, wind profilers, and incoherent and coherent scatter radars implementing Doppler techniques are now used routinely both in research and operational applications by scientists and practitioners. This book brings together a collection of essays by international leading authors devoted to different applications of ground based Doppler radars | DOPPLER RADAR OBSERVATIONS -WEATHER RADAR WIND PROFILER IONOSPHERIC radAr and other ADVANCED APPLICATIONS Edited by Joan Bech and Jorge Luis Chau Doppler Radar Observations - Weather Radar Wind Profiler Ionospheric Radar and Other Advanced Applications Edited by Joan Bech and Jorge Luis Chau Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
