Radar Meteorology and its Applications by Chandrasekar, V.; Das, Saurabh; Datta, Abhirup;

Long description:

"

This book aims at capturing the most recent advancements and research in the field of radar meteorology. It features the select research presented at the 6th conference on India Radar Meteorology (iRad-2024), held at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, from 10–12 January 2024. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful resource for students, researchers, and professionals working in radar meteorology and atmospheric sciences. The key feature of the book is its multidisciplinary approach, bringing together scientists from various domains of radar technology and meteorology. The book covers the latest innovations in radar system design, signal processing techniques, radar data assimilation methods, and advanced applications in weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and severe weather detection which have significant societal impact.
