Research on a Gust Detection Methods using Doppler Radar

摘要

In order to develop a method of detecting and prediction gusts using a Doppler radar for meteorological observation and to asses applicability of that to train operation decisions, we installed the radar on the rooftop of Amarume Station, Uetsu Line in March 2007. This paper outlines the resulting gust detection system, a prototype based on findings obtained from observation, and describes the specification and installation place of a new Doppler radar developed to improve gust detection accuracy.
