Objective and Automatic Methods for Synoptic Utilization of Multiple Weather Radar Data

摘要

A discussion of various methods which are applicable to the objective and automatic collection of multiple weather radar data for synoptic utilization is covered. The discussion includes: technique and hardware status, initial and maintenance cost estimates, age of data comparison, data format comparison, feasibility demonstration of the techniques considered; using a seven station network in the midwest terminating at Kansas City (MKC) and the system recommended, for further consideration and test, as an integral portion of the common aviation weather system.
