2 MPAR Program Activities Basic Commerce & Industries/Lockheed Martin  Fabrication of dual polarization panel complete  Waiting for testing/evaluation report FAA Reimbursable Agreement  Agreement signed by both FAA and NOAA  Statement of Work under review  Continued collaboration on Risk Reduction Activities OU Atmospheric Radar Research Center (ARRC)  Cylindrical Polarimetric Phased Array Radar (CPPAR)  Data Collection for MPAR Wind Shear Experiment  Integrating OU/ARRC backend technology with MIT/LL panel MIT/Lincoln Laboratory Proposal  Proposal to develop MPAR 10-panel sub-array demonstrator  Contract going through official review process

3 NWRT Phased Array Radar Software Development Activities  New release of Adaptive DSP Algorithm for PAR Timely Scans (ADAPTS) to support spring 2012 data collection  Runs surveillance mode on non-weather beam positions  Pedestal control algorithm to track reflectivity features of interest  User interface (RCI Client) displays Refl/Vel PPIs in real-time  Improved ground-clutter residue censoring thresholds in the DSP Maintenance Activities  Maintenance issues with A/C units

4 NWRT Data Collection (Spring 2012) Supporting 3 Experiments (through June 30 th )  Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3)  Support NSF study. Provide multi-Doppler coverage when DC3 operations are in central OK.  Severe Outbreak  Collect severe/significant weather cases for meteorological evaluation of PAR capabilities.  MPAR Wind Shear Detection Capability Assessment Experiment  Use NWRT and other local radar assets to evaluate PAR observations of wind shear events. 15 Events collected thus far

PARISE Phased Array Radar Innovative Sensing Experiment Purpose : Test whether rapid adaptive sampling with NWRT/ PAR increases NWS forecasters’ capability to effectively cope with tough tornado warning cases. Participants 12 forecasters from Central and Southern Regions 2 each week (expert and journeyman) over 6 weeks (June – Aug) Data Four cases (mix of Tornado and null) run in simulated real time NWRT/PAR data displayed in AWIPS II

6 Video and screen recordings Products issued (if any) Observer notes Recollect thinking via Case Walk-Through Complete a confidence rating on event and PAR data Complete NASA Task Load Index (Human Factors Workload Analysis) PARISE Data Collected
