Abstract:

This session is devoted to key technologies and applications of weather radars. The key technologies focus on solving existing engineering and scientific problems, including radar meteorology science, weather radar signal processing, new weather radar system developments, experimental weather radar data collections, and visualization algorithms of weather radar observations. The applications mainly focus on providing users with more detailed observation results than existing operational weather radars to improve application value, including agriculture, transportation, urban flood warning, airport weather warning, etc. Presentations about advanced radar technologies, including phased array radars, polarimetry, multi-function scan strategies, network scanning strategy, fusion of radar results in different bands, radar data quality control algorithms and evaluation standards, radar echo extrapolation method based on neural network, signal processing for clutter rejection or blockage, etc. will be a focus of these sessions.
