The Limitations of the WSR-88D Radar Network for Quantitative Precipitation Measurement over the Coastal Western United States
In 1996, the last of the 136 operational Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) Next Generation Radar radar sites in the contiguous United States was put into operation, completing a major component of the National Weather Service (NWS) modernization program. This radar network, along with improvements in profilers and weather satellites, represents a continuing shift from in situ to...
متن کاملEvaluation and Uncertainty Estimation of NOAA/NSSL Next-Generation National Mosaic Quantitative Precipitation Estimation Product (Q2) over the Continental United States
Quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) products from the next-generation National Mosaic and QPE system (Q2) are cross-compared to the operational, radar-only product of the National Weather Service (Stage II) using the gauge-adjusted and manual quality-controlled product (Stage IV) as a reference. The evaluation takes place over the entire conterminousUnited States (CONUS) fromDecember 20...
متن کاملAtmospheric circulation is reflected in precipitation isotope gradients over the conterminous United States
[1] The stable isotopic (dO and dH) composition of meteoric precipitation integrates information on the history of water fluxes to, from, and between air masses as they traverse the continents. The development of new methods relating isotopic data to water cycle processes will increase our ability to understand this system and its response to natural and anthropogenic forcing. Here we present a...
متن کاملRecalibration of Hydrologic Models for Use with Wsr-88d Precipitation Estimates
With the deployment of the WSR-88D weather radar, the National Weather Service will provide improved estimates of hourly precipitation accumulations for most of the United States on roughly a 4 by 4 km grid. This information will be used as input to operational hydrologic models to improve streamflow prediction for flood forecasting and water resources management. A critical issue that hydrolog...
