RADAR APPLICATIONS IN TERMINAL AND ENROUTE WEATHER FORECASTING.

Abstract

The purpose of the task was to develop objective techniques for interpreting and processing weather radar data for integration with other meteorological observations into a national aviation weather system. Work was confined to three areas: (a) incorporation of a routine into the Statistical Properties Program for computing the average length and width of weather echoes; (b) determination of relationships between statistical properties of the echo patterns and predictability of the patterns; (c) determination of echo movements and predictability of features in the echo patterns as a function of their space scales.
