Question

A 1993 BAMS (“bams”) paper by Crum and Alberty details specs for a common type of these scientific instruments, the WSR-88D. A quantity measured by these non-microscope scientific instruments is held equal to 200 times R to the 1.6 power in a formula named for Marshall and Palmer. These scientific instruments measure the Z used in Z-R relations, which is typically reported in dBZ (“d-b-z”). AWACS crafts carry (15[1])a dome named for carrying these scientific instruments, which can be updated to have (*) dual pol (“pole”) capability. These scientific instruments may (10[1])be used to detect signatures like velocity couplets (10[1])or hook echoes (10[1]-5[1])on the (10[1])right-rear (10[2])flank (10[1])of supercells. (10[1]-5[2])Base reflectivity measured by these scientific instruments can be viewed on the NWS website, where it is overlaid with warning polygons. (10[2])For 10 points, what scientific instruments’ Doppler form (10[1])is used to detect precipitation (10[1]-5[1])using (10[1])microwaves and radio waves? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: weather radar receivers [or weather radar antennae or Doppler radar receivers or Doppler radar antenna or radar dishes; accept radome; prompt on antennae or receivers or dishes]
