![]() By 1950 the UK company EKCO was demonstrating its airborne 'cloud and collision warning search radar equipment'. In the United Kingdom, research continued to study the radar echo patterns and weather elements such as stratiform rain and convective clouds, and experiments were done to evaluate the potential of different wavelengths from 1 to 10 centimeters. Marshall and his doctoral student Walter Palmer are well known for their work on the drop size distribution in mid-latitude rain that led to understanding of the Z-R relation, which correlates a given radar reflectivity with the rate at which rainwater is falling. Douglas formed the "Stormy Weather Group" in Montreal. In the United States, David Atlas at first working for the Air Force and later for MIT, developed the first operational weather radars. After the war, military scientists returned to civilian life or continued in the Armed Forces and pursued their work in developing a use for those echoes. Typhoon Cobra as seen on a ship's radar screen in December 1944.ĭuring World War II, military radar operators noticed noise in returned echoes due to rain, snow, and sleet. 5.3 Resolution and partially filled scanned volume.5.1 Anomalous propagation (non-standard atmosphere).4.10.1 Radar Integrated Display with Geospatial Elements. ![]()
