What is CASA?• National Science Foundation Engineering
Research Center – Academic, Government and Private Sector Partners– NOAA is a CASA partner
• Developing new weather observation systems based on low-power, low-cost networks of radars.
• Transition research to operations.
• Year 8 of a 10-year research project

Purpose: Establish a radar network in the Dallas-Fort Worth area using CASA technology.
• Comprehensive radar data in the lower atmosphere
• Faster radar return rate• Higher resolution
– Flood and Wind (thunderstorm, tornado) forecasts– Flood and Wind decision support tools– Base level radar data
• Public/Private Partnership

• Rapid, High Res. “smart” scans – balance competing user needs for data– adapt to changing weather– RHIs, PPIs, dual Doppler, sector scans, within a volume scan
• Improved resolution, sensitivity, accuracy, and ability to support multiple users and multiple applications.
NEXRAD = 5 min between updates
CASA = 1 min between updates
