As we all know, weather radar came into existence during the Second
World War when aircraft detection radars had their vision limited
by echoes from rain bearing clouds. What was often considered to be
of nuisance value by the air force personnel trying to locate enemy
aircraft was seen as an opportunity by the weather men. Thus
adversity in one field was converted into an opportunity in
another. Since then weather radar has found myriad applications
with the increased sophistication of technology and processing
systems. It has now become an indispensable tool for the
operational forecasters, cloud physicists and atmospheric
scientists. The current generation radar is but a distant echo of
the radars of the 1940s. As a result, its operation and maintenance
have become very complex, like the technology it uses. Therefore,
there is a definite requirement of focussing our special attention
not only on the science of radar meteorology but also on its
operational aspects. The present book, as pointed out by the
author, attempts to fill this gap. The author has presented the
subject with a balanced blend of science, technology and practice.
The canvas is indeed very broad. Starting with the history of
weather radar development the book goes on to discuss in a lucid
style the physics of the atmosphere related to radar observation,
radar technology, echo interpretation, different applications and
finally attempts to look into the future to indicate potential new
opportunities in this field.
