NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...
A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.
Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar, known by the acronym VIPIR, is an analysis and display program for Doppler weather radar, created and sold by Baron Services. [1] This software allows improved analysis of radar data for private users, in particular television stations, similar to the Weather Decision Support System program ...
So far, Wisconsin has seen two tornados in 2024, both in the month of February. As of 3 p.m. Tuesday, NWS received reports of hail 1-inch in diameter in Sussex and wind damage in Walworth.
Prior to the introduction of Wi-Fi, one of the biggest applications of the 5 GHz band was Terminal Doppler Weather Radar. [4] [5] The decision to use 5 GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi was finalized in the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2003; however, the meteorological community was not involved in the process.
In south-central and southeast Wisconsin, the heaviest snowfall will begin after 9 a.m., the weather service said, with accumulations of 6 to 12 inches.
The value of all properties in Wisconsin Rapids went from over $900 million in 2018 to over $1.4 billion in the new assessment, the city assessor said.
RaXPol often collaborates with adjacent mobile radar projects, such as Doppler on Wheels and SMART-R. [2] Unlike its counterparts, RaXPol typically places emphasis on temporal resolution, and as such is capable of surveilling the entire local atmosphere in three dimensions in as little as 20 seconds, or a single level in less than 3 seconds.
