The state and prospects of the network of Doppler Weather Radars

Discussed are the problems arising in the process of creating a new network of DMRL-C weather radars in Russia. Compared are the potentials of these new and previous radars. Measured characteristics of the received signal and the algorithms of their assessment are briefly described. It is concluded that the programs of the secondary processing of information correspond to the potential of DMRL-C incompletely. It is proposed to speed up the development of methodological documents regulating the operation of the new network and working out additions to the secondary processing of information. Considered is a possibility of supplementing the developed network with small-sized weather radars in stalled in the areas of the most probable formation of such hazardous phenomena as tornados and heavy showers.
