Erad 2014 - the Eighth European Conference on Radar in Meteorology and Hydrology

The COPE field campaign operated from the 3rd July to the 20 th August 2013, with ground operations based in Davidstow Cornwall where the X-band polarimetric Doppler radar was located. Figure 1 shows the location of Davidstow, the Chilbolton S-band polarimetric Doppler radar and the C-band radars within the Met Office network. The Met Office Cobbacombe C-band radar was operational although not ...

Erad 2014 - the Eighth European Conference on Radar in Meteorology and Hydrology

Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting (QPN) is one of the main applications of radar observations. On one hand, one of the most used nowcasting algorithms is Lagrangian extrapolation. It shows skill in specifying the timing and location of precipitation over short time periods, but shows low skill when using past precipitation trends to predict changes in precipitation intensity. On the other h...

ERAD 2012 - THE SEVENTH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON RADAR IN METEOROLOGY AND HYDROLOGY New Weather-Surveillance Capabilities for NSSL’s Phased-Array Radar

1. Introduction The U.S. Government operates seven distinct radar networks providing weather and aircraft surveillance for public weather services, air traffic control, and homeland defense. A next-generation, multifunction phased array radar (MPAR) concept has been proposed that could provide enhanced weather and aircraft surveillance services with potentially lower life-cycle costs than multi...
