Airborne Phased Array Radar

Weather Geeks

Guests: Dr. Linnea Avallone & Nicholas Anderson, National Science Foundation

While aircraft radar has come along away over the past several decades, the U.S. National Science Foundation, or NSF, is looking to take things a step forward with an investment of over 90 million dollars to create the Airborne Phased Array Radar. This will be a state-of-the-art radar that will be attached to the outside of an aircraft and flown over land and oceans to get remarkably close 3D views of what is going on deep inside clouds and severe storms. And the weather research implications of this new system could bring new understanding to severe storms and tropical cyclone research. Joining us today from the NSF are Dr. Linnea Avallone, Chief Officer for Research Facilities, and Nicholas Anderson, Program Director for Physical and Dynamic Meteorology.
