Capability of the NSSL's R&D 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
Notes:
Oversampling means that there are more than one samples
per pulse width. Briefly currently there are about 1000 points in range (spaced
250 m apart) that we collect and process to generate an image. With oversampling
by a factor of 5 there would be 5000 points in range spaced 50 m apart.
