Patent number: 6850184Abstract: A system and method to build a radar reflectivity forecast mosaic from a collection of radar sites. The radar data from multiple radar sites is processed to create movement information for all of the precipitation areas. The movement information and precipitation areas are then mosaicked in a common geographical framework to create forecasted radar reflectivity mosaics. By using the reflectivity information and movement information from multiple radars, a wider scale, more coherent radar forecast can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2003Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: WSI CorporationInventors: George Rene Desrochers, Paul Joseph Bayer, Brenda Joyce Roder, Michael Robert Kleist
