摘要:
This study examines the impact of high-temporal sampling by PAR on the depiction of low-altitude circulations, including tornadic vortex signatures, compared to the nearby WSR-88D (KTLX). Comparisons between PAR and KTLX will be made for the time of initial (and final) detection of circulations, the evolution of circulation depth and magnitude, and the relation of circulation development to the occurrence of severe weather. The paper will also relate findings from this research to forecaster evaluations of the operational use of PAR for storms with low-altitude circulations.
