1 ATMOS 312 RADAR METEOROLOGY Chapter 1: COURSE OVERVIEW

2 Chapter 2: Electric and Magnetic fields Electromagnetic Propagation Electromagnetic Spectrum Polarization Beam propagation through the atmosphere Anomalous propagation

3 Chapter 3: Basic components of a radar, Characteristics of a microwave pulse, how microwave pulses are generated, transmitted, and received, quantities describing radar properties.

4 Chapter 4: Radar displays Plan Position Indicator display Range Height Indicator display

5 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

6 We will also discuss displays of derived quantities and displays from non-conventional radars such as airborne radars

7 Chapters 5 and 6 Radar equations: Solitary targets Distributed targets Weather targets

8 Chapter 7: Relationship of Radar Reflectivity to other meteorological quantities Rainfall Drop size distribution Liquid water content

9 Chapter 8: Doppler radar

10 Measurements of Phase and the Doppler Dilemma

11 The Doppler Spectra and its relationship to turbulence and the drop size distribution
