Radar Discussion Report Review of radar systems Locations of radars at supersite Scanning strategies Data formats and displays Real time data transmission Staffing Questions for ARM/AMIE Products and relation to modeling—discussion deferred DYNAMO Planning Meeting, Seattle, 7 July 2010 Houze, Ellis, Schumacher, Medina, Rutledge, Moore, Brodzik, Yuan

HUMIDITY DUAL WAVELENGTH SPolKa (NCAR) S & Ka band MM-WAVELENGTH ARM mm radar ARM Ka band SPolKa Ka band MM-WAVELENGTH ARM mm radar ARM Ka band SpolKa Ka band Review of Radars at Supersite * Polarimetric Microphysics SPolKa ARM X band Doppler Air motions SMART-R C-band SPolKa ARM X & Ka NOAA S-band? CM-WAVELENGTH Precipitation SMART-R C-band SPolKa S-band ARM/AMIE X-band NOAA S-band? NOAA Distrometer?

MM-WAVELENGTH Vertically pointing mm- wavelength MM-WAVELENGTH Vertically pointing mm-wavelength Ship Radars * Doppler Air motions C-band scanning CM-WAVELENGTH Precipitation C-band scanning

Where the radars will be located SMART-R Addu Atoll SPolKa/SACR? AMF2(MMCR?)/SPROF? 5 km

Scanning Strategies Need to coordinate C-band radar scans at ships with SMART-R SPolKa strategy Shallow convection—horizontal Deep convection—vertical & horizontal combined Decision making—will involve radar scientist to decide when to switch (issue to resolve)

Data formats and displays For radar geeks only—See detailed meeting notes of Socorro Medina

Real time data transmission Will need SMART-R and ARM data at SPolKa site If aircraft is involved more data transmission questions will arise NCAR, UW, A&M, and ARM engineers will need to coordinate about these issues

Staffing at Gan Technical staff NCAR 2 technicians at all times, 2 student* helpers throughout the project are desirable ARM 1-2 tech staff at all times, ~2 local or student* helpers— must be employed by DOE Scientists from UW, A&M, NCAR (includes students) UW 1-2 people at any time (Houze, Brodzik, Medina, Rasmussen) A&M 1 PI and/or engineer at beginning for setup, 2 students* at all times thereafter NCAR 2 (scientists), 0-1 DYNAMO radar scientist** at all times Student summary NCAR—2 students* for humidity calculations; 2 students* for other technical assistance A&M—2 students* for operating SMART-R UW—1 UW student for UW science activity ARM--TBD *Could be from UW, A&M, CSU or other university **Could be student or staff from UW, A&M, or CSU

Questions for ARM Radar locations Staffing needs Data transmission to SPolKa site Other?
