  1. National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT)Oversight Panel and Spring 2007 Research Goals Jeff Kimpel and Doug Forsyth National Severe Storms Lab March 20, 2007

  2. National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) Milestones • Created NWRT Assessment Panel as required by the Navy/FAA/NOAA MOA and the NOAA/OU MOA • NOAA – Jeff Kimpel, Douglas Forsyth • FAA – James Williams, Bill Benner (Garth Tarok) • Navy – Ron Ferek, Scott Sandgathe • OU – Mark Yeary, Robert Palmer

  3. NWRT Milestones (cont.) • Developed procedures for requesting access to the NWRT • http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/research/radar/nwrt_use.php • Intent is to charge only forcosts exceeding basic NWRT support.

  4. 2007 National Weather Radar Testbed Projects

  5. MPAR vs. NEXRAD Scan Rate: Microburst Event • MPAR captures 29 clear images and more data during the time it takes NEXRAD for 4, the result is better forecasts and earlier warnings MPAR Strong updraft indicated by weak echo region Rapid descent of high reflectivity core NEXRAD 19:40:05 19:44:57 MPAR Weak outflow in corresponding velocity field at 19:51:03 Strong outflow at 19:56:00 NEXRAD 19:49:49 19:54:42
