Abstract

The recent updates on the AP Clutter Mitigation Scheme for the WSR-88D system are presented. The program is part of the Open Radar Product Generator (ORPG), which is going to improve the radar base data quality by identification and removal of ground clutter produced under anomalous propagation (AP) conditions. The AP clutter Mitigation Scheme consists of three parts, one of which is the Radar Echo Classifier (REC) of which the AP Clutter Detection Algorithm (APDA) is one module and the Precipitation Detection Algorithm (PDA) is a second module. Reflectivity Compensation Scheme (Z-comp) and clutter filter specification and control are the other two parts of the scheme.
