The PX-1000 at the Lobo Overlook in the Rio Grande for a Colorado Field Campaign ARRC research scientist Dr. Pierre Kirstetter, along with Drs. Boon Leng Cheong and Tian-You Yu, deployed the PX-1000 for a field experiment to monitor weather and hydrology over areas affected by wildfire and debris flows in the Rio Grande area, Colorado. The radar has been operated from the Lobo overlook to monitor precipitation and complement the NEXRAD coverage in complex terrain. Further, a number of developmental radar-based (MRMS) products have been supplied to the experimental team for research and evaluation. The operations have been coordinated with the Rio Grande Watershed Emergency Action Coordination Team (RWEACT), the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the National Weather Service offices of Pueblo and Grand Junction and the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. The experiment was conducted from September 1 to October 15, 2014.
