2016年10月，路易斯安那大学门罗分校（ULM）开始运行偏振s波段多普勒天气雷达，通过增加3.0 km AGL以下的数据采样量，帮助缩小路易斯安那州北部的低空雷达覆盖缺口。数据几乎实时地传送到当地国家气象局（NWS）天气预报办公室，以帮助气象学家完成保护生命和财产的使命。将ULM雷达数据纳入NWS操作，提高了对路易斯安那州北部恶劣和危险天气的探测能力。本文详细介绍了ULM雷达如何被纳入NWS作战，作战雷达覆盖范围的改进，以及在NWS作战环境中使用非NWS雷达的挑战。
In October 2016, the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM) began operating a polarimetric S-band Doppler weather radar to help close the low-level radar coverage gap across northern Louisiana by increasing the quantity of data sampled below 3.0 km AGL. Data are delivered in near-real time to local National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices to help meteorologists accomplish their mission of protecting life and property. The inclusion of ULM radar data into NWS operations has led to improved detection of severe and hazardous weather across northern Louisiana. This paper details how the ULM radar has been incorporated into NWS operations, the improvement in operational radar coverage, and the challenges of using a non-NWS radar in the NWS operational setting.
