Session 9A Radar Technologies and Applications I

Wednesday, 31 January 2024: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
337 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 40th Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies
Chairs:
Mark Yeary, NWS, Office of Central Processing, Silver Spring, MD and Kurt D. Hondl, Advanced Radar Research Center, University of Oklahoma, Office of Central Processing, Norman, OK

These sessions are devoted to current and next generation weather radars, with emphasis on radar meteorology science, weather radar applications, weather radar signal processing, weather radar prototype developments, experimental weather radar data collections, and essentially all radar meteorological algorithms. Presentations about advanced radar technologies, including phased array radars, polarimetry, multi-function scan strategies, retrieval algorithms, signal processing for clutter rejection, etc. will be a focus of these sessions.
