INVESTIGATION OF INSTRUMENTATION AND TECHNIQUES FOR ARMY WEATHER OBSERVATION
Abstract
Resumption of operations with Weather Radar Set AN/CPS-9 at McCulloch Peak, Oregon, in February 1962 required a number of maintenance, repair, and adjustment steps to produce reliable weather radar data. In order to utilize the equipment to the greatest advantage while securing certain replacement parts, the staff explored experimentally the possibility of deriving more meaningful data from the weather radar echo video signal by recording on an R- scope photograph the echoes from individual pulses. Several operating periods also provided PPI photographs for ultimate comparison with TIROS photographs and for detailed analytical comparison with the precipitation data collected in a dense network of nearby observing points.
