Abstract:
In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the rapidly evolving environment and the impacts this may have on human activities, is necessary to achieve the modernization of the national meteorological system. A major step in modernizing the capabilities for monitoring meteorological phenomena is by implementing the state-of-the-art weather radar technology for increasing the real-time detection capabilities of severe weather. By integrating in the national meteorological system the dual polarization radar technique, forecasters will be able to use the new available data in various hydrometeorological applications. Also, the upgrade can facilitate the exchange of radar data at local and regional levels and integrated with already available technologies (surface observation stations, satellite data, and numerical weather prediction models) can lead to improved warnings of extreme weather events. This paper briefly describes the system architecture, radar algorithms, data processing and summarizes the benefits the system brings to Lithuania in the form of improved weather surveillance.
