Surveillance Weather Radar Technology Developments Digital receivers Easy to achieve sampling rate higher than reciprocal of pulse (oversampling) Versatile circuits for transmitter control Easy to phase code, to interleave PRTs (staggered and other), to compress pulse Signal processing on general purpose computers (PCs) Easy to program algorithms and analyze Doppler spectra Capability of the NSSL’s RD weather surveillance radar Doppler and Dual Polarization Phase coding of transmitted pulses Transmission of arbitrary non uniform pulse sequence including staggered PRT Oversampling by a factor of 5 in Dual Polarization Mode By a factor of 10 in Single Polarization Mode Arbitrary scanning strategy (including RHI) Recording of time series data Oversampling To increase speed of volume coverage To decrease errors in estimates of reflectivity, velocity, spectrum width, and polarimetric variables Mitigation of range velocity ambiguities Phase coding at lower elevations Staggered PRT at higher elevations Demonstration of clutter filtering for both schemes Integration into volume coverage patterns Inclusion of oversampling Adaptive automatic choice of PRTs based on obscurations in immediately preceding scans Dual Polarization at NSSL 1983: Upgrade of Cimarron radar to dual polarization; switching between horizontal and vertical polarization 1984: Collection of first (anywhere) dual polarization time series data 1985 to 1989: Definition of the complete set of polarimetric variables. Development of schemes to obtain these variables together with spectral moments 1992: First (anywhere) collection of polarimetric variables at all range locations 1992 to present: Development of schemes to classify hydrometeor type.
