DESCRIPTION:Dear IEEE members and guests\n\nThe next IEEE Control\, Aerospa
 ce and Electronic Systems (CAES) seminar will be on Monday\, February 8th\
 , 2021 at 7:30 pm (Adelaide time).\n\nThe speaker is Dr Alan Seed\, Associ
 ate Professor at School of Engineering and the Built Environment Griffith 
 University\, he will be presenting a seminar on:\n\nAn overview of weather
  radars: past\, present\, and future\n\nPlease aim to join the WebEx meeti
 ng beforehand\, so we can start on time.\n\nhttps://ieeemeetings.webex.com

 t number (access code): 130 102 7616\n\nAlso\, please check out the new IE
 EE SA Section website: https://r10.ieee.org/saus/\n\nRegards\n\nWaddah Al-
 Ashwal\n\nIEEE SA CAES Chapter Chair\n\nAn overview of weather radars\; pa
 st\, present\, and future\n\nWeather radars have been used to observe the 
 atmosphere for over 60 years and are now considered to be essential observ
 ation systems for a National Hydro-meteorological Service. This talk will 
 begin with a brief overview of the physical principles of how to interpret
  the signals that are returned to weather radar and how to relate radar ec
 hoes that are observed aloft to rainfall intensity on the ground.\n\nThere
  have been two major revolutions in weather radar technology since 1970\; 
 the introduction of Doppler in the 1990s and dual-polarization since 2010.
  In addition to the advances in radar technology\, there have been transfo
 rmational developments in computer technology and communication. The talk 
 will discuss the impact of these transformations on the value of the servi
 ce that is provided by weather radar. In particular\, the impact of improv
 ed radar technology and data processing on the quality of the data which e
 nables and the transition from qualitative to quantitative weather radar p
 roducts.\n\nOf course\, radar technology continues to be developed. The U.
 S. is actively developing phased array radars that are expected to be oper
 ational in the next decade or so. These radars will enable comprehensive v
 olumetric scans of the atmosphere at sub-minute temporal resolutions\, whi
 ch will enable greater flexibility in how the radar is operated (e.g.\, al
 lowing both aircraft tracking and weather observations from the same radar
 ). Unfortunately\, there is no free lunch in radar technology. The talk wi
 ll cover some of the obstacles that need to be overcome and the compromise
 s that need to be made before these new radars can reach their full potent
 ial.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Alan Seed\, \n\nAdelaide\, South Australia\, Austra
