Precipitation nowcasting with three-dimensional space-time extrapolation of dense and frequent phased-array weather radar observations

The phased-array weather radar (PAWR) is a new-generation weather radar that can make a 100-m-resolution three-dimensional (3D) volume scan every 30 s for 100 vertical levels, producing ~100 times more data than the conventional parabolic-antenna radar with a volume scan typically made every 5 min f...
