8 July 2004 2000 Been running generic surveillance last couple of hours. Starting ClimoFar on the 00 mark, RHIs to some stuff near 49deg Clutter filter is on. Some cells near 64deg, 120 km. Stuff at 49deg extends beyond 10s of km along radial, mostly beyond 100 km. Not much over 40 dBZ in these cells. 2013 RHIs working OK 2015 Stopped antenna & restarted on 15 minutes mark. ClimoFar (& by def, ClimoNear) runs 20-30 sec short of 15 min. Rotating RHIs to 66deg; overall some activity over mountains but not too much. 2022 Need to insert sync into scan sequence to get synchronization to work, have done so for NAME-micro. ClimoNEar & ClimoFar so far. S-Pol at 960 Hz PRF. Just doing 0.5-1.5 on RainMaop right now 2030 Synch worked! Rotating RHI to new cell near 69deg, 100 km. 2045 Starting MicroFar for timing check, center PPI on 45deg. 50 dBZ cell near 82deg, 138 km 2104 Micro90s seem to time out OK, testing 135s this round.RHIs to 72deg. Check that new growth near 15deg, 30 km: RHIs to there instead. 2115 Doing MicroNear135 now, MicroFar135 timed out OK. All NAME_micro.scn scans contain syncs & should work OK. RHIs to 16deg now, PPI centered on 45deg 2122 RHI to 15 deg. RHIs show nice vertical development. Highest PPI angle not topping entire storm. 2130 Running MicroNear90 on 15deg. Last sequence timed out just fine. Adjusting Climo RHI to 4 sweeps to allow for 0deg PPI. 2145 Started ClimoNear about 5 sec later; RHI on 17deg, changed to 13 deg Cells mostly just hanging over mountains, not much movement. PPIs to run tight, well bear watching to make sure synk is OK. 2200 Running 135 Near to look at PPI timing in more detail, started a few sec late. New Climos should time out just fine. 2209 Storm raining itself out. 2215 135s worked out with timing just OK. Nice gust front incoming from sutff over northern mountains. RHIs on new cells near 40 km, 85deg. 2224 Running RHIs on 85deg storm so LUtz can look @ ZDR. ZDR may be slightly negative. 2228 Running RainMap until climofar on next sync. 2230 ClimoFAR with RHIs on 85deg storm 2244 RHIs show cell weakening 2248 RHIs switched to new cell @ 335deg, 100km 2345 Running MicroFar90 on 340deg convection for testing sync.
