Evaluation of a Remote Weather Radar Display, Volume II. Computer Applications for Storm Tracking and Warning.

Abstract

Tests with a Remote Radar Display using R, theta coordinates had demonstrated the feasibility of presenting timely warnings for areas in severe storm paths graphically. Mathematical derivations and three case studies utilizing operationally oriented software are presented with suggestions for future work. This research is divided in two parts. Volume I describes the installation of equipment, training of FSS briefers in operation and interpretation and documentation of data transmitted during the tests. and interpretation, and documentation of data transmitted during the tests. Volume II summarizes research efforts at NSSL to computerize further processing of the displayed data for rapid isolation and tracking of selected storms. (Author)
