Radar Profile

The finite relaxation rate smoothes the edges of the slick in the modelled radar image. For strong damping, this effect is stronger on the leeward side of the slick than on the windward side. This is due to the factor N/Neq in the source term producing smaller relaxation rates at lower absolute spectral levels. Because this form of the source term derives from the analysis of section 3, this should be a realistic effect. (In reality, one may expect additional effects from the wind action on the slick distribution on the water surface that may also give rise to different radar profiles for the leeward and windward sides.) Because of this, the apparent size of the slick is increased. For example, if one would take as the criterion for the extent of...

Sensory data may contain many important details that will remain just a collection of results unless they can be presented in a concise, nnderstandable manner. The illustration in Figure 18.3 is a spider chart (aka Radar Profile) showing the results from a descriptive ballot evaluating a brewery s India Pale Ale (IPA) that meets the requirements of the brand profile and is considered True to Brand. (Full statistical approaches can be implemented for data analysis, and discussions can be found in the main references cited above and extensively in Lawless, 2013b and O Mahoney, 1986.)... 

Four basic modes of flight trajectory can be employed (1) semi-ballistic (2) altimeter-controlled terrain following (3) pull-up from behind radar screening terrain followed by inertial and (4) a combination of inertial and terrain following. Lateral deviations in flight profile can also be programmed... 

Several methods have been proposed to nonintrusively measure the thicknesses of walls, corrosion profiles, and macrodefects [i.e., 49], Two methods at room temperature that require point contact with the cold face of the furnace are known. The first is impact-echo method, used in construction concretes and pavements (Sect. 1.4). The second method is the frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FM-CW) radar technique [50], which can produce wall thickness data in real time. 

A radar-echo profile of the edge of the ice sheet in the Allan Hills in Fig. 17.22 also reveals the presence of a subglacial ridge. The ice flowing across this ridge... 

Fig. 17.21 Radar-echo measurements across the Reckling Moraine at 1,000 W (Fig. 17.16) reveal that the ice is flowing across a bedrock ridge which apparently deflects basal ice to the surface where it forms a supraglacial moraine. The presence of this ridge was confirmed by two additional profiles across the Reckling Moraine. The thickness of the ice over the ridge is only about 100 m, whereas the adjacent valley is filled with ice that is more than 400 m thick (Faure and Buchanan 1987 Faure 1990c Faure et al. 1993)...

Fig. 18.5). Specimens that fell less than 150,000 yettfs ago occur primarily west of the ice ramp on ice from higher stratigraphic levels in the ice sheet. The LL6 chondrite ALH 88019, which has the longest terrestrial age of 2.20 0.40 Ma, also lies at the ice ramp with other specimens that fell more than 300,000 years ago. The hne across the edge of the ice at the Cul de Sac is the radar-echo profile measured by Faure and Buchanan (1987) (Adapted from Nishiizumi et al. 1989 Scherer et al. 1997)... 

From the radial velocity (Fig. 3b), it could be found that convergence line ran from southwest to northeast, along the railway. In the radar wind profile, a deep southerly controlled the area from low to high level (1-9 km), at 850 hPa and 700 hPa the wind ware strong enough to be a low level jet. The deep low level jet provided moisture and heat to the rainstorms. 

EC flow field showed a weak wind environment. The low level jet did not exist. But the radar wind profile indicated the southwesterly jet increased rapidly and supported vapor for the rainstorms.
