Oct 13, 2021 · During 2008, the WSR-88D radars were upgraded to produce increased spatial resolution data, called Super Resolution. The earlier (Legacy Resolution) data before 2008 provides radar reflectivity at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 1 km range gate resolution to a range of 460 km, and Doppler velocity and spectrum width at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate …

• Approve the 20-Year Joint Radar Plan as a joint formal NWS-OAR planning document • Charter a NOAA Joint Radar Planning Project/Committee to • Integrate and coordinate planning, evaluation and assessment of ground weather radar science and technology advancements that can improve NWS operational performance
Case Study: NOAA (NWS, OAR, ... upper air inflation building (UAIB), and radar data acquisition (RDA) sites associated with a primary WFO, WFO/RFC, or WSO), were visited across six regions totaling approximately 1,180,500 square feet of space. To help plan for their investment needs over a 10-year period, Cardno used paragon to complete a ...
Cardno provided a report of findings for each facility and a consolidated report for each line office that objectively rated the remaining life span of the facility, along with the various components, and whether replacement of the facility or various components within a 10-year planning window was warranted. The reports consisted of summary text of our findings for each system assessed with current and deferred maintenance deficiencies, and 10 year recommended investments.
Work Packages and deficiencies were prioritized for execution based on three metrics: likelihood, severity and Mission, with the highest value of Relative Risk indicating the highest risk to mission. The highest risk to mission Work Packages was recommended to be executed first.
The inventory was collected using paragon level 5. This is derived from American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E-1557-09 Uniformat II level 4 Work Breakdown Structure. The paragon level 5 provides an additional level of detail beyond what is stipulated in the ASTM standard. Inventory is essential to understand how the building is constructed at a very detailed level, and more importantly how the condition of the inventory components affects the overall condition of the building.
Digital data is available for free, and paper copies can be purchased and certified. See Data Certification for more information on hard copy radar products, pricing, and certification information. NEXRAD data can be accessed through the following data access services:
This dataset contains the Level-I (L1) raw radar event data recorded at Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) sites and collected by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC) for specific radar case studies.
A display of echo intensity measured in decibels relative to Z (dBZ). Scientists use these products to detect precipitation, evaluate storm structure, locate boundaries, and determine hail potential. Four low elevation angles are available, with specific elevation angles depending on the scanning mode of the Radar.
