Abstract

In this paper, algorithm requirements of X-Band METRAD radar system in scope of Hydro-Meteorological Disaster Early Warning are described. Requirements for detection of low altitude smoke plumes caused by grass, brush and forest fires to locate the flame center is key to fire hazard early detection. Similarly, requirements of sensing flood clouds and calculation of flood risk from medium distance giving up to 1-hour is critical for flood warning systems. Conclusions section include how radar visualization of winds alert emergency teams for spread of fire/flood according to disaster maps and environmental parameters
