Clear-air Radar Echoes
Boundary layer clear-air radar echoes: Origin of echoes and accuracy of derived winds. Wilson et al., J. Atmos. Oceanic Tech., 1994
- Echoes come from both refractive index gradient (Bragg scattering) and insects and birds (particulate scattering)
- Bragg scattering dominates at and above the top of the PBL and is primarily observed via 10 cm (S-band) radars
- Insects are principal scatter in mixed boundary layer
