Meteorological Studies with the Phased Array Weather Radar and Data Assimilation Using the Ensemble Kalman Filter

It is critical to effectively assimilate quantitative radar observations to provide timely environmental characterization and on-scene tactical-scale weather forecasts to optimize military operations.
This project will leverage on the new PAR in Norman, Oklahoma to exploit the phased array technology and its applications to improve NWP through EnKF data assimilation.
This project is sponsored by the Department of Defense, Office of Naval Research through the Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) program N00014-06-1-0590.
