Operational Capability of a Weather Radar Time Lapse Color Display System,
Abstract
A weather radar processor and color display capable of storing up to 40 complete radar PPI's and displaying these in color and in time lapse fashion has been tested at the AFGL Weather Radar Facility. Operation in various seasonal weather situations has enabled the examination of a number of system variables, such as the rate of picture acquisition, rate of picture display, color thresholding, range and azimuthal resolution and optimum combinations thereof. The real time self-briefing feature of the system will also be discussed and illustrated with still and motion pictures of a number of case studies. A brief description of the system hardware and software and a discussion of future expansion will also be presented. (Author)
