Publisher's Synopsis
This book records and elucidates on the contribution made by weather radar data to the fields of meteorology, hydrology and the environmental sciences, providing information on techniques of using weather data, together with an assessment of the success in solving problems. The main emphasis is on systems which can be applied operationally, with discussion of various meteorological research topics. Examples are drawn from a world-wide range of sources, noting regional differences and emphases. Radar manufactures and companies developing software systems will, in addition to those already working in meteorology and hydrology, also be interested in the contents of this book, with regard to the uses to which their products and services can be put.
