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 ...
KGBT-TV was the first news station in the metropolitan area with its own live weather radar, which was called "Live Super Doppler". KGBT-TV broadcast a 24-hour weather station, which provided updated local forecasts. On April 29, 2008, KGBT-TV's 43-year veteran weatherman, Larry James, retired.
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.).
Parts of Texas and Louisiana were under a tornado watch Thursday night as a line of thunderstorms battered the south-central U.S., threatening the region with large hail, damaging winds and heavy ...
The ASR-9 was the first airport surveillance radar to detect weather and aircraft with the same beam and be able to display them on the same screen. It has a digital Moving Target Detection (MTD) processor which uses doppler radar and a clutter map giving advanced ability to eliminate ground and weather clutter and track targets. It is ...
Of all the mysteries and wonders of the Christmas season, one of the greatest for local children from 1956 through 1989 was Taft’s Santa radar sightings on the Christmas Eve 10 p.m. news.
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 Doppler on Wheels recorded winds of 263–271 mph (423–436 km/h) approximately 30–50 m (98–164 ft) above the radar level. Following calculations to more accurately determine peak wind speeds, it was published that ground-relative winds of 309–318 mph (497–512 km/h) could be observed briefly to the immediate east of the main circulation.
