Abstract:
This paper describes a first step toward correlating publicly available data from the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system with electromagnetic propagation measure-ments. We demonstrate the successful extraction of data from a specified volume to generate a time series and contextualize our results alongside transmission loss, humidity, and temperature measurements taken during a snowstorm. We propose future development of the toolchain to enable widespread adoption.
Keywords: radar measurements; propagation losses; loss measurement; meteorological radar; temperature measurement; time series analysis; humidity; data mining; next generation networking
