Thickness-weighted averaging in tidal estuaries and the vertical distribution of the eulerian residual transport

This paper presents thickness-weighted averaging (TWA) in generalized vertical coordinates as a unified framework for a variety of existing tidal-averaging concepts in seas and estuaries. Vertical profiles of resulting residual quantities depend on the specific vertical coordinate, which is held fixed during the averaging process. This...

Adaptive and high-resolution estimation of specific differential phase for polarimetric X-band weather radars

One of the most beneficial polarimetric variables may be the specific differential phase K_DP because of its independence from power attenuation and radar miscalibration. However, conventional K_DP estimation requires a substantial amount of range smoothing as a result of the noisy characteristic of the measured...
