The project ``Draft''—development of radar analysis software and data format
Yoshinobu Tanaka, MRI, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan
The authors are studying the meso scale phenomena, so that we needed to deal with the multiple radar systems. But , The analyzing multiple systems needs a lot of trouble. Because , in Japan, the analysis software and data format of radar system are usually different from each other. At 1996 , the authors started the project ``Draft''. This project has five policies.
1) making the common data format ( Draft format ). 2) providing the common method ( routines ) accessing Draft format. 3) providing the basic analysis softwares , such as CAPPI , unfolding Doppler velocity , etc. 4) on UNIX system, dividing the softwares regarding with converting format , analysis and visualization from each other. 5) on Windows system, providing the visualizing , analyzing and measuring software, ElDorado II.
At this time, this project can manage DRAW( JMA's operational airport Doppler radar ), many of JMA's operational radar systems , MRI radars , and some mobile radars for research.
