Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).
By and large, meteorological monitoring is done operationally by relatively legacy weather radar systems – in the United States, the NEXRAD network has been the primary weather radar network since the early 1990s. For the first 20 years of operations, its data output was, in comparison to modern schemes, considerably more modest.
The National Weather Center is also home to the offices of Oklahoma Mesonet, a network of weather monitoring stations around the state; and the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.
The Rapid X-band Polarimetric Radar, commonly abbreviated as RaXPol, [1] is a mobile research radar designed and operated by the University of Oklahoma, led by Howard Bluestein. RaXPol often collaborates with adjacent mobile radar projects, such as Doppler on Wheels and SMART-R . [ 2 ]
The Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations (CIWRO) is one of 16 NOAA Cooperative Institutes (CIs), hosted at the University of Oklahoma. [1] Before Oct. 1, 2021, it was known as the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS). [ 2 ]
