Abstract

A Doppler on Wheels polarimetric radar was brought to Hawaii for the first time on a National Science Foundation educational deployment as part of a radar meteorology course at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM). The Hawaiian Educational Radar Opportunity (HERO) educational deployment featured three main avenues to integrate the hands-on experience provided by the DOW radar visit, strong integration with MET 628 for graduate students; field planning, deployment, and forecast experience for graduate and undergraduate students; and public education and outreach. rain event associated with a cold frontal passage. A key component of HERO was accurate forecasting of the weather conditions and targeted precipitation forecasts. One of the highlights of HERO was the opportunity for students to improve their tropical forecasting skills under the guidance of skilled NWS forecasters. An exceptional dataset was collected during HERO, and valuable insights into tropical weather and microphysical processes are expected upon further analysis.
