to section 10 of the technical manual, OperationInstructions Principal User Processor (PUP)Group/Doppler Meteorological Radar.SUMMARYIn this chapter, we first discussed nondoppler radarand the effects of wavelength and frequency on radarperformance. Next we looked at wavelengths forweather and cloud detection radars followed by anexamination of radar beam characteristics. A discussionof the development of Doppler radar was then presented,followed by an overview of the system’s characteristicsand many benefits.Some problems associated withDoppler radar were also discussed. The last section ofthis chapter dealt with principles of the WeatherSurveillance Radar (WSR-88D), including alert areasand thresholds, data access, user functions, status andalerts, and the archiving of data.The practical training publications, The WSR-88DSystem Concepts, KWXN-1003, and WSR-88DProducts, KWXN-1004, produced by the United StatesAir Force Training School, Keesler Air Force Base,Mississippi, offer additional guidance and technicalreference for the WSR-88D system, concepts, andproducts.12-15
