Development of Techniques for Short-Range Precipitation Forecasts.
Abstract
Algorithms were developed for the detection and tracking of reflectivity, tangential shear, and Doppler spread cells as detected by a single Doppler weather radar. The previously developed cell detection program was extensively revised to increase speed and reduce computer storage requirements. A new volume cell detection and tracking program was developed to combine the radar data obtained on successive scans to provide a three=dimensional analysis of the radar detected cells and to establish the motion and time histories of the cells.
