dc.description.abstract | During spring 2016 and spring 2017, a vertically pointing, S-band FMCW radar (UMass FMCW) was deployed in northern Alabama under the auspices of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) – Southeast. In total, ~14 weeks’ worth of data were collected, in conditions ranging from quiescent clear skies to severe thunderstorms. The principal objective of these deployments was to characterize the boundary layer evolution near the VORTEX-Southeast domain. In this paper, we describe intermediate results in service of this objective. Specifically, we describe updates to the UMass FMCW system, document its deployments for VORTEX-Southeast, and apply three automated algorithms: (1) an dealiasing algorithm to the Doppler velocities, (2) a fuzzy logic scatterer classification scheme to separate precipitation from non-precipitation observations, (3) a bright band / melting layer identification algorithm for stratiform precipitation, and (4) an extended Kalman filter-based convective boundary layer depth (mixing height) measurement algorithm for non-precipitation observations. Results from the latter two applications are qualitatively verified against retrieved soundings from a collocated thermodynamic profiling system. |
