2. Weather radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

   Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

3. NEXRAD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXRAD

   NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...

4. RaXPol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaXPol

   RaXPol often collaborates with adjacent mobile radar projects, such as Doppler on Wheels and SMART-R. [2] Unlike its counterparts, RaXPol typically places emphasis on temporal resolution, and as such is capable of surveilling the entire local atmosphere in three dimensions in as little as 20 seconds, or a single level in less than 3 seconds. [3]

5. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

   A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

7. dBZ (meteorology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBZ_(meteorology)

   The scale of dBZ values can be seen along the bottom of the image. dBZ is a logarithmic dimensionless technical unit used in radar.It is mostly used in weather radar, to compare the equivalent reflectivity factor (Z) of a remote object (in mm 6 per m 3) to the return of a droplet of rain with a diameter of 1 mm (1 mm 6 per m 3). [1]

8. National Severe Storms Laboratory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Severe_Storms...

   The upgraded radars offer 14 new radar products to better determine the type and intensity of precipitation, and can confirm tornadoes are on the ground causing damage. Dual-pol is the most significant enhancement made to the nation's radar network since Doppler radar was first installed in the early 1990s.

9. Doppler on Wheels - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_on_Wheels

   These smaller truck-mounted radars would replace a single large S-band radar, allowing for dual-Doppler analyses and quicker deployment times. The second planned project is the Bistatic Adaptable Radar Network (BARN) which will be integrated with existing DOWs and the COW to provide high resolution wind vector observations without the need for ...
