Abstract:

The long-term goal is to study and develop advanced approaches for radar data quality control QC and assimilation that will not only optimally utilize Doppler wind information from WSR-88D and Terminal Doppler Weather Radar TDWR but also take full advantage of rapid and flexible agile-beam scans from the phased array radar PAR at NWRT. The objective is to develop advanced methodologies for radar velocity data QC and assimilation that will not only optimally utilize observations from operational Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler WSR-88D and Terminal Doppler Weather Radar TDWR but also take full advantage of rapid and flexible agile-beam scans from the phased array radar PAR at the National Weather Radar Testbed NWRT.
