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”). Better resolution may be achieved using the newer dual pol (*) (“pole”) variety of these scientific instruments, which (10[1])can be used to detect signatures like velocity couplets or hook echoes on the right-rear flank of supercells. (10[2])These scientific instruments may be used to detect signatures like velocity couplets or hook echoes on the right-rear flank of supercells. (10[1])Base reflectivity measured by these scientific instruments can be viewed on the NWS website, where it is overlaid with warning polygons. For 10 points, what scientific instruments’ Doppler form (-5[1])is used to detect (10[1])precipitation using microwaves and radio waves? ■END■ (10[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]
