This comprehensive reference is the only text on the market solely devoted to radar hydrology. It provides a theoretical framework and practical knowledge of radar precipitation estimation. After a brief introduction to radar, the book focuses on the processing of radar data to arrive at accurate estimates of rainfall, addresses advanced radar sensing principles and applications, covers each component of the hydrologic cycle in detail, examines state-of-the-art hydrologic models, discusses contemporary approaches in data assimilation, and concludes with methods, case studies, and prediction system design.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Yang Hong is a professor of hydrometeorology and remote sensing in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, adjunct faculty member with the School of Meteorology, co-director of the WaTER Center, faculty member with the Advanced Radar Research Center, and affiliated member of the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Hong also directs the HyDROS Lab at the National Weather Center. Previously, he was a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Irvine. He holds a BS and MS from Peking (Beijing) University, China and Ph.D from the University of Arizona. Jonathan J. Gourley is a research hydrologist with the NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory and affiliate associate professor with the School of Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma. His research interests include hydrologic prediction across scales ranging from water resources management to early warning of extreme events. Dr. Gourley was the principal inventor of a multisensor rainfall algorithm that was expanded to encompass all radars in North America and deployed to several foreign countries for operational use. He also assembled a comprehensive database that is being used to develop FLASH-a real-time flash flood forecasting system. He holds a BS, MS, and Ph.D from the University of Oklahoma.
