Creeping Wave Propagation On Cylindrical Radiating Structures
(2019-08-01)
Weather radar is a powerful tool for detecting hazardous weather that may impact
the lives of many. Most weather radars used by meteorologists today rely on a
mechanical sweep to obtain volumetric data. This mechanical ...
CLUTTER DETECTION AND MITIGATION FOR DUAL-POLARIZATION WEATHER RADAR
(2019-12-13)
Ground clutter in weather radar observations causes degradation of data quality and can lead to misinterpretation of radar echoes. It is important to detect clutter and mitigate its effects to obtain accurate weather ...
A Study Of The Electrical, Microphysical, And Kinematic Properties Of The 29 May 2012 Kingfisher Supercell Undergraduate
(2014)
A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...

(2014)
A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ...
Multi-Radar Analysis of the 20 May 2013 Moore, Oklahoma Supercell through Tornadogenesis and Intensification
(2019-12-13)
On 20 May 2013, a violent, long-track EF-5 tornado impacted Moore, Oklahoma and surrounding areas, occurring within a network of radars operating in close proximity to the supercell. This network of radars consisted of ...
RADAR POLARIMETRY FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
(2015-05-08)
Radar aeroecology has steadily progressed since its inception in the 1950's, and additional advancements in radar technology, networks, modeling, and validation continue to drive the science further. As human impacts ...
Doppler Radar Analyses of Tornadic Supercells on 19 May 2013
(2016-05-13)
On 19 May 2013, two supercells moved through central Oklahoma and produced seven tornadoes, including one of EF-3 and one of EF-4 intensity. High temporal and spatial resolution observations were collected in both strong ...
UAV-Based In Situ Antenna Characterization: Analysis and Design Requirements
(2018-05-11)
This thesis proposes to characterize antennas in situ with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially within the framework of weather radar and 5th generation wireless systems (5G) antennas. Specifically, it is concerned ...
WAVEFORM AND TRANSCEIVER OPTIMIZATION FOR MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AIRBORNE RADAR THROUGH ADAPTIVE PROCESSING
(2013)
Pulse compression techniques have been widely used for target detection and remote sensing. The primary concern for pulse compression is the sidelobe interference. Waveform design is an important method to improve the ...
