Airborne Doppler Radar Data Analysis Workshop

Abstract The Airborne Doppler Radar Data Analysis Workshop, sponsored by the Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), was the first to focus on analyzing airborne Doppler radar data. The workshop (held 13-16 March 2000 at NCAR) aimed to 1) summarize the current airborne Doppler radar data analysis techniques, and 2) promote the use of airborne Doppler radar data in the atmospheric sciences community. The workshop also intended to encourage new users to analyze this Doppler data and to provide a forum for experienced users to exchange ideas and discuss problems related to analyzing the data. It also provided a forum to train the users in planning future airborne Doppler radar programs. Graduate students, recent PhDs, faculty and researchers participants—the leading experts in the field—covered the theory of airborne Doppler radar, experiment design, standard data analysis procedures and software, and recently developed analysis techniques.
