受 CASA IP1 雷达网络启发，将在波多黎各岛西海岸建造一个热带天气试验台。这个新的雷达网络测试台将解决热带环境中的定量降水估算（QPE）问题。该测试台将由三个低功率、短程、双偏振 X 波段多普勒雷达组成。雷达的设计考虑到了拟建地点的热带海滨环境，那里的空气中高温、潮湿和高盐度是常见的。该网络的目标是研究对流层下层 2 公里的热带天气事件，在该区域，传统天气雷达的降水估计准确度可能会降低。本文将描述网络雷达节点的特性。
A tropical weather testbed, inspired by the CASA IP1 radar network, is to be constructed on the western coast of the island of Puerto Rico. This new radar network testbed will address Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) in a tropical environment. The testbed will consist of three low-power, short-range, dual polarized X-band Doppler radars. Special considerations were taken in the design of the radar, as related to the tropical seaside environment of the proposed site locations, where high temperatures, humidity, and elevated salinity in the air are common. The goal of the network is to study tropical weather events in the lower 2 km of the troposphere, where reduced accuracy of precipitation estimates by conventional weather radar can occur. This paper will describe the characteristics of the network radar nodes.
