URBANWATERWeather Radar Applications
2 x 2km 100 x 100m
Key motivation
• “The perfect radar” for urban drainage applications is a radar of both high resolution and long range
• Unfortunately the typical trade-off for longer range is coarser resolution
• Combining radars of long range with radars of high resolution, is an obvious solution • Different antenna design
• Different scanning strategy
• Different strength and weaknesses
The study investigate differences, similarities, strength and
weaknesses
