The scan-to-scan correlation method to discriminate weather signals from ground clutter, described in this letter, takes advantage of the fact that the correlation time of radar echoes from hydrometeors is typically much shorter than that from ground objects. In this letter, the scan-to-scan correlation method is applied to data from the WSR-88D, and its results are compared with those produced by the WSR-88D's ground clutter detector. A subjective comparison with an operational clutter detection algorithm used on the network of weather radars shows that the scan-to-scan correlation method produces a similar clutter field but presents clutter locations with higher spatial resolution.

Radar Measurements

Recent technological advances have greatly enhanced the value of weather radar for storm detection, warning, and study. The use of digital computing equipment in association with weather radars now provides techniques for collecting, monitoring, archiving, and presenting the radar measurements in a variety of useful ways and at rates that can keep pace with the acquisition of the data. Developments in Doppler radar technology allow the measurement of air motions (such as tornado vortices) and other features of storm structures. The AMS commends the U.S. Government for its initiative in planning for an advanced weather radar system. The AMS urges governments to place a high priority on the design, procurement, and deployment of the new weather radar systems that incorporate both Doppler and digital processing capabilities.
