Finally, gaps in existing radar observing technologies are listed.Įmerging radar technologies best suited to addressing key scientific questions and future problems are identified and discussed. The emerging radar technologies that will be most helpful in answering the key scientific questions are identified. The current radar technologies considered critical to answering the key and emerging scientific questions are examined. (iii) Future needs and opportunities for radar support of high-priority research are discussed. (ii) New and emerging radar technologies are described.
This paper summarizes the outcome of the meeting: (i) Radars currently in use in the atmospheric sciences and in related research are reviewed. To assist the National Science Foundation in meeting the needs of the community of scientists by providing them with the instrumentation and platforms necessary to conduct their research successfully, a meeting was held in late November 2012 with the purpose of defining the problems of the next generation that will require radar technologies and determining the suite of radars best suited to help solve these problems. | 16 National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.| 15 University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.| 14 The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania.| 13 South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City, South Dakota.| 12 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado.| 11 National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.| 10 North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina.| 9 School of Meteorology, and Advanced Radar Research Center, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma.| 8 Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts.| 7 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma.| 6 The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania.| 5 National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.| 4 University of Miami, Miami, Florida.| 3 Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies, Norman, Oklahoma.| 2 University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, Illinois.1 School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma.Markowski 14, Katja Friedrich 15, and Tammy M.

Large forest fires can be mapped from space, allowing rangers to see a much larger area than from the ground.Some specific uses of remotely sensed images of the Earth include: Cameras on satellites can be used to make images of temperature changes in the oceans.Sonar systems on ships can be used to create images of the ocean floor without needing to travel to the bottom of the ocean.Cameras on satellites and airplanes take images of large areas on the Earth's surface, allowing us to see much more than we can see when standing on the ground.Special cameras collect remotely sensed images, which help researchers "sense" things about the Earth. Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft).
