Gust front detection algorithm for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar : part 1, current status
Summary
The gust front detection and wind shift algorithm is one of the two main algorithms developed for the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) program. This two-part paper documents some recent enhancements to, and the current status of, the algorithm (Part 1) and presents some results from recent testing of the algorithm during the TDWR Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) (Part 2: Klingle-Wilson et al., 1989).
