In the U.S.\, the opera tional weather radar network is composed of approximately 160 WSR-88D rada rs\, which are S-band\, dish-based\, polarimetric Doppler radars. This pre sentation reports on the development of a fully digital phased array weath er radar that is being used to assess the potential of such technology as a replacement for the WSR-88D radars. The “Horus” radar is a truck-bas ed\, S-band\, fully digital polarimetric phased array radar. Fully digital systems hold promise for meeting some of the greatest technical challenge s facing the meteorological community\, such as the effective integration of dual-polarization capability with phased array beam agility.\n\nBio: D avid Schvartzman (Senior Member\, IEEE) was born in Piracicaba\, SP\, Braz il\, on March 17\, 1988. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electri cal and computer engineering from the University of Oklahoma\, Norman\, OK \, USA\, in 2015 and 2020\, respectively\, with a focus on polarimetric ph ased array radar. Dr. Schvartzman has held research positions supporting t he NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL)\nand the Advanced Radar R esearch Center (ARRC) at the University of Oklahoma. At NSSL\, he gained k ey insights into observational needs for improving weather warnings and fo recasts and developed signal processing algorithms to enhance meteorologic al products for the\noperational US Weather Surveillance Radar (WSR-88D). He is currently an Assistant Professor with a joint appointment in the Sch ool of Meteorology and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering a t the University of Oklahoma\, affiliated with the ARRC.
