History of remote-sensing methods in meteorology, cloud physics and nowcasting in Slovakia over the period 1965–1990

A brief overview of building the radar and satellite meteorology in Slovakia over the period 1965–1990 and application of dispatching locators of PAR, SRE and RSR types for studying the evolution of convective cells is given. Further, the conception and implementation of a meteorological radar netwo...

Description
Summary:A brief overview of building the radar and satellite meteorology in Slovakia over the period 1965–1990 and application of dispatching locators of PAR, SRE and RSR types for studying the evolution of convective cells is given. Further, the conception and implementation of a meteorological radar network in Slovakia, the algorithms for recognition of clouds and phenomena related to the parameters of radioecho are reviewed. The development of a new laser radar (LIDAR) and the application of a prototype meteorological radar with the TESLA RM-3 controlled polarizer are described.
