Unisys in the period from 1983 to 1989, followed by the award of a full-scale productionĬontract to Unisys in 1990. Proceeding through the award of competitive pre-production contracts to Raytheon and Operational Project at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in 1977, Crum and Alberty (1993) summarize the timelineįor the creation of this system, beginning with the establishment of the Joint Doppler These data are disseminated to offices of the National Weather Service (NWS), theįederal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD), as wellġ0 EVALUATION OF THE MPAR PLANNING PROCESSĪs to the private sector and the public. (reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and Doppler spectral width) and products derived from Radars operate unattended according to selected scanning patterns, and radar data States (CONUS) as well as portions of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The WSR-88D, or the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD), weather radar networkĬomprises 156 long-range Doppler radars sited on a grid covering the contiguous United National Weather Surveillance Radar Network (Z = radar reflectivity factor V = Doppler velocity W = spectrum width) Source: John Cho, Massachusetts Institute ofġ56 National grid S 8.5 m dia 750 kW 4-6 min Radars that comprise the WSR-88D, TDWR, ASR, and ARSR networks. Summarizes key features of these networks, and Figure 2.1 shows the locations of the 510 Surveillance in the vicinity of medium and large commercial air terminals.
