Zijlstra, Maarten (author)The dolmens erected in the province of Drenthe between 3350-2700 BC are the most ancient monuments of the Netherlands. They consist of a long assemblage of rocks capped with boulders which served as burial chambers for the Funnel Beaker population. Despite their robust look, dolmens are vulnerable. For example, one of the caprocks of dolmen D14...master thesis 2022

van den Brule, Yannick (author)The knowledge of the raindrop size distribution is key for characterizing precipitation. It is however still a challenge to retrieve it with radars. Several polarimetric and spectral techniques are proposed for cm-wavelength radars (weather radars). What about the mm-wavelength radars (cloud radars), which have a better spatial and time...master thesis 2022

van Otterloo, Bas (author)Radar systems have been used for decades to detect targets on the ground and in the air. The radar signal is transformed into a range-doppler image that distinguishes each detected object by range and velocity for further processing. A target detection algorithm is used to filter noise and clutter. Each target can be in a region with a different...master thesis 2021
