Simmons and Sutter examined the impact of the installation of Doppler radar on the quality of tornado warnings and occurrence of tornado casualties. The researchers provided information on what Doppler radars were used, such as the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and WSR-88D radars. The NEXRAD radar system has 159 radars in the United States (U.S.) and overseas, as well as 121 radars installed at National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast offices. The NEXRAD system is used to monitor and…

assesses the life of Dennis Radar who was known to be a great husband, a fantastic father, and a model citizen to others in the community. Radar lived in Wichita, Kansas and was a Park City compliance officer and dog catcher. This job allowed for Radar to scan for his perfect definition of a victim. Dennis Radar began his murderous career in 1974 at the age of 29 and targeted mostly young girls and women. It is shown in the movie that after decades of “retirement” from killing, Radar is sent…

Some of these include advancements in manufacturing, radar technology and medicine. “The entire technology of radar, which is the ability to detect objects at a distance, war barely invented at the start of the war but but became highly developed in just a short time. By allowing people to see remotely at very long distances, radar made the idea of a “surprise attack” virtually obsolete and vastly enlarged the arena of modern warfare. Radar also allowed nations to track incoming air attacks,…

shutdown of the system, the Office of Management and Budget deemed DoD and DHS jointly responsible for the nation’s primary enroute radar network. As a result, the LRR JPO was established to fund and streamline the interdepartmental coordination for their respective surveillance requirements. The LRR JPO was chartered to ensure a reliable primary long range radar system was maintained in order to provide airspace security throughout the continental United States and adjacent regions, as…

Andrea Doria on a RADAR plotting board, he was not competent enough to understand why the Andrea Doria bearing was changing so erratically on the RADAR. Had Carstens noticed this wide variation on the RADAR, then he would have realized the helmsmen was not staying on the course properly. In return, he would not have depended on the helmsmen to report the heading of the ship when he was plotting. Conversely, the crew of the Andrea Doria was not competent enough to plot the radar observations.…

Ground penetrating radar has become one of the central geophysical methods involved in the search for buried organic remains (Ruffell, 2005). It is no surprise that ground penetrating radar is so widely used in the search for ground disturbances because with the right antenna settings and an understanding of the surrounding area and soil of the search area ground penetrating radar can be very effective. However, there is also several elements that can make ground penetrating radar not a useful…

control. ACC assists the driver to keep a safe distance from preceding vehicle by controlling the engine, throttle and brake. Figure 3.1.1: Prabs, (2010), Adaptive Cruise Control system As shown in the above Figure 3.1.1. ACC uses a forward-looking radar sensor, which is installed behind the front grill of the vehicle. The Adaptive cruise control equipped vehicle has the ability to detect the speed and distance of the predecessor vehicle or any other obstacle ahead. Adaptive cruise control…

had a sense that enabled him to foresee events before they happened. Our five senses can be thought of as radars, feeding us information about the world around us. They provide us with knowledge of our surroundings and each other. But what about this sixth sense? What about this sense that provides us with additional information; about the future? The sixth sense could also be described as a radar – invisible yet powerful and all seeing. Should it not be available to us all? Should every person…

airspace. This is basically a cooperation between air traffic control staff and pilots through radio communications, basing their decisions on the data collected from radars, vocal messages and flights plans that are passed from controller to…
