A demonstration of adaptive weather surveillance and multifunction capabilities on the National Weather Radar Testbed Phased Array Radar

This paper describes the latest adaptive scanning and multifunction capabilities of the National Weather Radar Testbed Phased-Array Radar located in Norman, Oklahoma (USA). Proof-of-concept focused and tailored observations of weather and scheduling algorithms for multifunction operation are described, and their performance is illustrated with real-data examples. It is demonstrated that adaptive scanning of weather is feasible in a multifunction radar and has the potential to reduce revisit times and to provide meteorological data that can aid in the forecaster's warning-decision process.
