Abstract

We are currently building a NetRad prototype system to be deployed in southwestern Oklahoma, consisting of four mechanically scanned X-band radars atop small towers, and a central control site (later to be decentralized as the number of radars increases) known as the System Operations and Control Center (SOCC). The SOCC consists of a cluster of commodity processors and storage on which the Meteorological Command and Control (MC&C) components execute. NetRad radars are spaced approximately 30 km apart from each other and together scan an area of 80km x 80km and up to 3 km in height. In this paper, we overview the radar calibration process, as well as the initial benchmark execution times of the software modules we will demonstrate at DCOSS.
