Vertical wind affects the growth and development of most of the weather event viz., cyclone, mesoscale convective systems, thunderstorms, deep convective clouds, and cloud electrification. Advanced clear-air Wind profiler technology is the only tool that enables the direct w measurement in all weather conditions at high time-height resolution throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere. Due to dynamic and thermodynamic factors, the turbulent eddies create refractive index variations which is the primary source of scattering for these clear-air radars. The wind profiler is an efficient means to study convection whose intensity can be determined by vertical wind measurements. The convective activity over India changes according to local and large scale features, showing a clear annual cycle. The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) is a large scale phenomenon bringing forth significant convection and cloud across the Indian latitudes. The annual cycle of vertical structure of basic atmospheric conditions created for versatile convective regimes provides the evolution of atmosphere features. This study analyzes and builds a hypothesis of the existing vertical velocity field and its variability from the available wind profiler observations over different convective regimes in the Indian region. An attempt will be made to understand the factors determining the vertical wind characteristics during different convective scenarios like shallow, moderate and deep convection.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128316000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A compact all-in-one laser frequency stabilization system has been designed which serves multiple objectives as it generates a square wave for modulating the laser current, provides lock-in amplification, enables us to monitor the derivative curve, to control the gain of system, and to produce and monitor the servo-control signal for providing feedback.

The GNSS receiver can be embedded into the navigation processor itself for reducing size, weight and cost. The navigation computer in a launch vehicle, being a mission critical element is generally designed with special care w.r.t its grounding scheme, isolation techniques and quality standards. The incorporation of a GNSS receiver into the navigation computer calls for major design changes. Being an RF circuit, the signal ground of a GNSS receiver should be connected to chassis of the launch vehicle. This contradicts the normal notion of ground isolation with chassis followed in navigation computers. A GNSS embed Navigation Processor (GNP) board which houses a Navigation processor and a NavIC/GPS receiver is developed for launch vehicle applications. In view of the change in grounding philosophy, the GNP board is subjected different tests to simulate the chassis potential rise scenarios commonly seen in a launch vehicle. Different conditions like inadvertent chassis voltage during stage separation, instruments converter shorting to chassis, pyro or valve battery live shorting to chassis and pyro or valve battery live shorting to return are simulated. The tests results are critically analyzed and some design improvements are implemented to make GNP more robust to chassis voltages.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131143253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
