The Danish weather radar network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) operates four cband radars for weather monitoring. Three of these radars are doppler and were purchased from Electronic Enterprise Corporation (EEC) in the last 2 – 4 years. The fourth radar is an older non-doppler radar manufactured by Ericsson of Sweden and is situated on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Geographical location of the radar sites is illustrated in fig. 1 below.

Detecting weather radar clutter using satellite-based nowcasting products
This contribution presents some initial results from investigations into detection of weather radar clutter by data fusion with satellite-based nowcasting products. Weather radar data from three C-band Doppler weather radars of the Danish Meteorological Institute has been extracted for cases of sea and land clutter caused by anomalous propagation as well as cases of clutter free data. In additi...
متن کاملP 3 . 2 General Purpose Weather Surveillance with the Airport Surveillance Radar
The United States (US) government recently completed the installation of a network of 141 WSR-88D Doppler weather radars across the continental US (CONUS) dedicated exclusively to weather surveillance. This network provides nearly continuous single-Doppler radar coverage of weather reflectivity over the country and is credited with improving the severe weather warnings (Bieringer and Ray, 1996)...
متن کاملImproving Weather Radar Data Quality for Aviation Weather Needs*
A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...
متن کاملOptimal placement of weather radar network in complex terrain using swarm intelligence
This work proposes an accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) approach for the optimal placement problem of small low cost x-band mountain weather radars. Given a finite set of weather radars, a network is produced such that the geographical coverage area is maximised. By taking in consideration terrain blockage and low level radar beam elevation restrictions, the proposed method is capa...
متن کاملDistributed Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting Using Information from Radar and Numerical Weather Prediction Models
The benefits of short-term (1–6 h), distributed quantitative precipitation forecasts (DQPFs) are well known. However, this area is acknowledged to be one of the most challenging in hydrometeorology. Previous studies suggest that the ‘‘state of the art’’ methods can be enhanced by exploiting relevant information from radar and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, using process physics and ...
