[Method] Taking a heavy rainstorm covering most parts of Shaanxi Province in late July 2010 as an example, data of five Doppler weather radars in Shaanxi Province were employed for a detailed analysis of the evolution of the heavy rainstorm pro- cess. [Result] Besides the good large-scale weather background conditions, the de- velopment and evolution of some mesoscale and small-scale weather systems direct- ly led to short-term heavy precipitations during the heavy rainstorm process, involv- ing the intrusion of moderate IS-scale weak cold air and presence of small-scale wind shear, convergence and adverse wind area. In addition, small-scale convection echoes were arranged in lines and formed a ＂train effect＂, which would also con- tribute to the generation of short-term heavy precipitation. [Conclusion] This study provided basic information for more clear and in-depth analysis of the formation mechanism of short-term heavy precipitations.展开更多

A complete analytic derivation of the antenna shot section model of PDRA and the bright section model constrained by pulse emitted from antenna are given. Furthermore, the doppler effect mode and the earth terrain RCF (radar crossing factor) model are constructively analyzed. Then, the computing methodology on PDRA, which are used to compute the scattering power, scattering doppler spectrum, and the scattering signal, is studied. Besides, in order to check the correctness and efficiency of the algorithm, computing examples of ETR (earth terrain return) under the supposing premises are furnished. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the models and algorithm are rational, the computational precise is satisfactory, the cost of computing time is low.展开更多

One of the key assumptions of this approach is that sediments originating from sub-basins with different erosional histories are well mixed. A tragic debris flow occurred in the Seti River watershed, central Nepal, on May 5, 2012. This catastrophic debris flow was triggered by slope failure on the peak of Annapurna IV and resulted in many casualties in the lower Seti Khola. However, it provided an opportunity to test the assumption of equal mixing of sediments in an understudied rapidly eroding watershed. This study documents the CWDR of ^10Be to evaluate the extent of the influence of episodic erosional processes such as debris flow on the spatio-temporal redistribution of loBe concentrations. Our data show that the debris flow caused little change in CWDR across the debris flow event. In addition to isotopic measurement, we calculated denudation rates by using the modeled concentrations in pre- and post-landslide sediments based on the local ^10Be production rate. The modeled result showed little change across the event, indicating that the debris flow in May 2012 played a minor role in sediment evacuation, despite the rapid erosion in the catchment. Our study concludes that although the 2012 event caused many casualties and severe damage, it was a low-magnitude, high frequency event.展开更多

The results are shown as follows： firstly, the convection on the night of June 13 was stronger than that on the afternoon of June 14. The two times of severe convection weather generated under the circulation background of upper cold vortex. There was northwest air current at high altitudes and warm wet advection at low altitudes. Severe convection weather was triggered by low-level shear lines and surface convergence lines on June 13 and by weak cold air at 700 hPa on June 14 respectively. Secondly, there was certain water vapor transport and convergence before the occurrence of severe convection, and it was warm and wet at low altitudes but dry and cold at high altitudes; there was convergence at low altitudes and divergence at middle and high altitudes. 0 ℃ layer was at about 4 000 m, and-20 ℃ layer was at about 7 000 m. Thirdly, radar echo intensity was larger than 45 dBZ when severe convection happened, and it reached above 60 dBZ at an elevation of 1.5°, while middle strong echo zone overhung weak echo zone at low altitudes. Vertically integrated liquid（VIL） was up to 20 kg/m^2, and mesocyclone generated in strong echo zone; there was bow echo on the night of June 13, and VIL was higher than that on June 14. In wind profiler data, strong vertical wind shear and fluctuation of wind direction had denotative meaning to the occurrence of severe convection weather. Fourthly, hail, gale and other severe convection weather happened in front of long and narrow cold cloud zone and convective cloud clusters as well as in southwestern TBB gradient zone.展开更多

The analysis takes into account the Doppler effect that is inherent in magnetic observations. The frequency shifts between the magnetic and radar data are estimated （removed） indirectly by formulating the spectral analysis of magnetic data as the Schuster problem of hidden periodicities. There is a satisfactory agreement between the basic frequencies of equidistant spectra found in the magnetic data and frequencies found in the corresponding Doppler radar data. Some conclusions relevant to these findings are discussed.展开更多

It generates a side bands of the target body Doppler frequency shift,which is helpful for target recognition. Based on this,a micro-Doppler atomic storehouse is built for the target recognition,and four kinds of common classifiers are used separately to perform the classified recognition. The simulation experimental results show that this method has high recognition rate above 90%.展开更多
