MEASUREMENT AND CALCULATION OF FLUCTUATIONS IN RADAR ECHOES FROM SNOW

摘要

Intensities of the snow echoes obtained by a zenith-pointing radar from 180 different contributing regions are compared with suitably chosen thresholds. The probability of the intensities exceeding such a threshold and the frequency with which two intensities separated in time straddle it, are used to deduce the autocorrelation coefficients of the signals.
