WGR Objectives

Like all working groups in BALTEX, the WGR has no explicit declaration stating its objectives. It has, however, worked with the following tasks which, as formulated here, could serve as such:
  • to promote the use of weather radar as a prime wind and precipitation observation system within the framework of BALTEX,
  • to coordinate the use of weather radar in BALTEX,
  • to encourage the establishment of a Radar Data Centre for use during the BALTEX Main Experiment (BRIDGE),
  • to define those radar-based products to be generated and archived at the BRDC, and distributed to BALTEX Data Users,
  • to conduct research and development on improving the quality and quantitative use of those radar-based products generated at the BRDC,
  • to meet regularly and keep updated on the status of weather radar in the BALTEX Region,
  • to inform the research community of its activities.
