• Rainfall observations using dual-polarization radar coupled with a drop motion and evaporation model 

    Pallardy, Quinn (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    Measuring spatial coverage of rainfall is important for several disciplines; unfortunately, rainfall data via rain gauges is very limited in spatial coverage. The best remote sensing tool available for rainfall estimation ...
  • Ramp event analysis for western Missouri 

    Balbi, Adam (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    This work focuses on rapid increases and decreases in wind speed that produce "ramps" which affect wind power calculations and planning. Average wind speeds are predicted with a high level of accuracy; however variable ...
