协作自适应大气传感工程研究中心(CASA)正在创造一种基于低成本、密集分布的X波段雷达网络的天气观测新范式。这些网络根据不断变化的天气和用户对数据的需求调整其扫描策略。本文介绍了美国国家气象局预报员和学术研究人员对2007年春季在俄克拉荷马州西南部运行的CASA原型试验台上运行的动态可重构雷达扫描模式的评估结果。评价表明，一组试点用户总体上对CASA的扫描模式感到满意。评价还发现了扫描战略需要改进的地方，这些改进后来已付诸实施。通过这个设计、实施和评估的迭代周期，我们展示了系统架构的灵活性，以及我们修改现有能力和增加新能力的能力，以增加CASA雷达系统的好处。
The Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) is creating a new paradigm for weather observation based on low cost, densely spaced networks of X-band radars. These networks adapt their scanning strategy based on the evolving weather and user needs for data. This paper presents the results of an evaluation by National Weather Service forecasters and academic researchers of the dynamically reconfigurable radar scanning patterns that operated in CASA's prototype test bed in southwest Oklahoma in spring 2007. The evaluation demonstrates that a pilot group of users were satisfied overall with CASA's scanning patterns. The evaluation also uncovered needed improvements to the scanning strategy that have been subsequently implemented. Through this iterative cycle of design, implementation, evaluation, we have demonstrated the flexibility of the system architecture and our ability to modify existing and add new capabilities to increase the benefits of CASA radar systems.
