Presentation Transcript

  1. SMART Radar • C-band (5.5 cm), Doppler radar jointly owned by Texas A&M and University of Oklahoma • 2.54 m antenna, ~1.5° beamwidth (circular) • International 4700 dual-cab diesel truck (~2.6 m wide, ~10 m long, ~4.1 m tall, ~11,800 kg) with 10-kW diesel generator • Reflectivity, radial velocity, and spectrum width measured out to 150 km radius

  2. Potential SMART-R Maldives Deployment • SR1 is available for entire CINDY2011/DYNAMO time frame • Will provide 3-D observations of convection and area rainfall useful for budget studies • SR1 can be shipped with its truck (more difficult to ship, but more flexibility on-site) or can possibly be containerized without the truck (easier to ship, less flexibility on-site) • SR1 has been run for extended periods in Texas and Costa Rica, but needs operators (which can be trained on-site) • Experience from MISMO X-band deployment on Gan Island will be useful
