A REAL TIME VISUALIZATION, ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT TOOLKIT FOR MULTI-PARAMETER, MULTI-STATIC WEATHER RADAR DATA

摘要

The DLR-TOOLKIT software environment is presented. It is designed to process polarimetric and Doppler weather radar data of POLDIRAD. Additionally it processes and integrates multiple BISTATIC Doppler radar receivers and the wind data measurements produced. In-situ flight data information as well as lightning data can be visualized simultaneously with the radar data. The large amount of information and radar-meteorological moments generated by the multi-polarization Doppler radar in conjunction with currently three bistatic radar receivers represents a great challenge for data processing with respect to performance and data quantity handling. The paper presents the software design criteria and the concept realized. This object oriented software environment and library is applicable and easily adapted to almost any weather sensor data to be analyzed and presented for scientific and quality monitoring purpose
