- Abstract
- Weather radar networks, originally centralized and based on single vendor solutions, are evolving towards increasing
heterogeneity. This is due to both the adoption of upgrades of existing installations
at different time and to include, in radar
networks, also systems having different features (e.g.:
working at different bands). A paradigmatic case is the I
talian weather radar network, built up according to a federated paradigm upon existing and heterogeneous radars independently build and
operated by different organizations, typically regional weather services.
As known, any fruitful usage of network radar data
either for quantitative precipitation estimation or just for operational monitoring, must deal with a careful check of data
quality. This aspect is particularly critical for networks with heterogeneity radar having different features (products, scans
trategy, operative algorithms and so on).
Complex orography can further
leads to miscalibration problems during mosaicing
and make difficult the matching of observations of the same phenomenon form different radars.
In addition, scheduled
radar maintenance
procedures can be
insufficient to determine
promptly whether a
radar is performing correctly or not. With the advent of mosaic radar data and products, the need for techniques to monitor and
diagnose the performance of radar networks is increasing.
In this work a preliminary analysis on the inter-comparison of reflectivity data, collected by two C-band radars both
installed in central Italy, but having different characteristics is shown. The radars used for the analysis are those of the
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) in Rome and that of Region Abruzzo, Italy. The first is located at an elevation of
162 m, whereas the second is at 1660m. asl. Therefore, different observations can result both from miscalibration of sensors,
and also by other factors related to influence of attenuation viewing geometry
and different influence of vertical reflectivity
profile. In the light of what mentioned above, the proposed work goes in the direction to set up an automatic routine to
remotely detect miscalibration of radars with overlapping coverage
within a network and possibly compensate it. The
practical implications of this work
are the optimization of the radar maintenance and the increasing of the quality of network
radar products. (literal)
