P 3 . 2 General Purpose Weather Surveillance with the Airport Surveillance Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
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). While this new network is a significant improvement over the radar network that it replaced, it still falls short of providing homogeneous low altitude coverage across the entire country.

Low Altitude Wind Shear Detection Using Airport Surveillance Radars
This paper describes an enhanced weather processor for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR9) that will include Doppler wind estimation for the detection of low altitude wind shear, scan-to-scan tracking to provide estimates of the speed and direction of storm movement and suppression of spurious weather reports currently generated by the ASR-9’s six-level weath...
متن کاملAnomalous Propagation Ground Clutter Suppression with the Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) Weather Systems Processor (WSP)
Ground-elutter breakthrough caused by anomalous propagation (AP}----ducting of the radar beam when passing through significant atmospheric temperature and/or moisture gradients-is a significant issue for air traffic controllers who use Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) weather channel data to guide aircraft through the airport terminal area. At present, these data are often contaminated with AP,...
متن کاملA Study of Dry Microburst Detection with Airport Surveillance Radars
This report evaluates the capability of Airport Surveillance Radars (ASRs) for the detection of low altitude wind shear associated with the outflows of dry microbursts. It describes results of simulations of dry microburst observations by an ASR. These simulations incorporated weather and clutter data collected by the FL-2 pencil-beam Doppler weather radar at Denver Stapleton Airport in 1988 an...
متن کاملEstimating Takeoff Thrust from Surveillance Track Data
Emissions inventory calculations for airports, using standard emissions inventory reporting methods, are inflated due an assumption of use of maximum takeoff thrust. To enhance the operational life of jet engines and reduce fuel burn, airlines frequently use reduced thrust (i.e. Derated or Flex Temperature thrust) for the takeoff procedure. Without access to internal airline “load sheet” paperw...
