CSWR's Doppler on Wheels (DOW) network consists of three mobile Doppler radar trucks, DOW 6, DOW 7 and Rapid-Scan DOW (DOW8). The DOW radar facility has served the NSF …

DOW8 conducted fast surveillance scans at ~1° elevation, with 50-m gates and 50-km range, from inside the eye of Harvey (Fig. 5). The range of the mesovortices from the 0.9°-beamwidth …

Researchers and faculty can request the DOWs for their projects. CSWR is engaged in research investigating tornadogenesis and structure as well as hurricane boundary layers and wind …

Doppler on Wheels (or DOW) is a fleet of X-band and C-band mobile and quickly-deployable truck-borne radars which are the core instrumentation of the Flexible Array of Radars and …

Doppler velocity, reflectivity in the eye of Hurricane Harvey at landfall from DOW8 (0356-0423 UTC) showing mesoscale subvortices; Rockport, TX, August 25, 2017

Access to and control of a mobile radar was a tremendous boon. As an instructor, DOW8 was crucial in conveying concepts related to radar site selection, scan strategy, and data …

2021: DOWs reveal that tornado winds average ~40 mph stronger than EF rating winds. EF ratings average 1.2 - 1.5 categories lower than DOW-determined wind speeds. The FARM …

CSWR's Doppler on Wheels (DOW) network consists of three mobile doppler radar trucks, DOW 6, DOW 7 and the Rapid Scan DOW (DOW 5). Many of the important meteorological …
