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 ...
A NEXRAD weather radar currently used by the National Weather Service (NWS) is a 10 cm wavelength (2700-3000 MHz) radar capable of a complete scan every 4.5 to 10 minutes, depending on the number of angles scanned, and depending on whether or not MESO-SAILS [7] is active, which adds a supplemental low-level scan while completing a volume scan ...
WLFI-TV presently broadcasts 22 + 1 ⁄ 2 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with four hours each weekday, 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 hours on Saturdays and one hour on Sundays); unlike most CBS affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, the station's early evening newscast at 5 p.m. runs only for a half-hour, with the station opting to run syndicated programs during the 5:30 p.m. half-hour.

Then, in 1961, one of the Weather Bureau's first network weather radars was commissioned in Amarillo. Other rapid changes in technology were ...
Pulse-Doppler radar and Continuous-wave radar are required for high performance in this area because these exclude low-velocity reflections. This is a critical measure of performance for the Littoral zone and land-based radar. Prevailing winds of about 15 mile/hour cover most of the surface of the earth. This constantly stirs up debris into the ...
