Sever Hazards Prediction Method by Using Phased Array Weather Radar (PAWR)

Abstract:

We are now research several sever hazards of meteorological phenomena, for example, thunderstorm, hail, heavy rain-fall, tornado, etc., by using Phased Array Weather Radar (PAWR). In this paper, we present our analyses between PAWRs echo data temporal variations and thunderstorms lightning activity, hail fall and/or heavy rain-fall rate, etc. We will develop nowcast and/or forecast methods of sever hazards and, in near future, we will prepare new prediction numerical model of sever hazards by using CReSS (Cloud Resolving Storm Simulator).
