Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) An National Science Foundation Engineering Center • Contribution from Kollias (McGill) & Wiscombe (DOE-ARM/BNL) • DOE/ARM-CASA partnership • 3-D Scanning precipitation radars • Distributed Collaborative Adaptive Sensing networks http://www.casa.umass.edu/
Recent DOE/ARM-CASA Partnership Common objective the fill observational “gaps” CASA – Observe lowest 3 km of the atmosphere Poorly sampled by the NEXRAD radars (esp. at long ranges) ARM – Provide long-term quality measurements of clouds & precipitation to test and validate MMF results. Synergistic capabilities CASA – Emerging, robust, low-cost technologies for observation of precipitation, winds at low-levels ARM – Extensive experience in quality measurements of cloud & radiation
