  1. Technical Interchange Meeting – ROC / NSSL / NCAR Real-time time-series implementation of the Radar Echo Classifier (REC)for clutter detection in ORDA Mike Dixon NCAR ROC / NSSL / NCAR TIM Boulder CO 11 May 2005

  2. The goal was to develop and test a version of the REC with the following properties: Fast and efficient for real-time operation, suitable for use in the ORDA. Works with time series data, so that the algorithm has access to the spectral domain. Is suitable for detecting clutter and AP. Goal

  4. Kernel: 5 deg wide, 2 km along the beam. Uses the following fields: TDBZ - DBZ texture: squared change in dBZ from one gate to the next, in range, averaged over the kernel. SPIN - DBZ ‘spin’: measure of how frequently the trend in reflectivity along a beam changes with range. Averaged over the kernel. VEL: velocity at the gate. SDVE: standard deviation of velocity over the kernel. WIDTH: spectrum width at the gate. CLUTPROB: clutter probability, based on ratios of power near 0 m/s to power in rest of spectrum. REC for clutter or AP detection

  6. This implementation of the REC was developed to handle time-series data in LIRP format. It was tested on the following data sets: KJIM, stratiform situation, non-phase-coded. SPOL at Boulder, convective situation, phase-coded. SPOL at NAME, Mexico, convective situation, non-phase-coded, alternating-pulse dual-polarization. Data sets

  46. The following fields were added to the REC for the dual polarization case: RHOHV – value at the gate. SD-ZDR – standard deviation of ZDR in range, computed for the single beam only, no azimuth averaging. SD-RHOHV – standard deviation of RHOHV in range, computed for the single beam only, no azimuth averaging. Additional REC fields for Dual Pol
