摘要
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) conducted a study to develop a new weather hazard forecasting and warning technology. The technology was based on low-cost, dense networks of radars that operated at short range, communicated with one another, and adjusted their sensing strategies in direct response to the evolving weather and to changing user needs. The small size of these radars allowed them to be placed on existing infrastructure elements, such as communication towers and rooftops. The short range of the radars solved the Earth curvature blocking problem, enabling these networks to map damaging winds and heavy rainfall from the tops of storms down to the boundary layer beneath the view of the existing networks.
