Abstract
The King Weather Radar Research Station of the Atmospheric Environment Service (AES), located north of the metropolitan Toronto area in Southern Ontario, is a component of the Canadian weather service radar network. The only Doppler weather radar in the country, it was instituted as part of the research program of the Cloud Physics Division of AES and is a first phase of Canada’s Dopplerization plan. The main objectives for this radar were to identify operational uses of Doppler radars in the Canadian climate, to determine and test the functional and technical requirements for an operational Doppler radar, to develop Doppler radar expertise and to initiate the training of operational meteorologists in the use of Doppler radars. This paper will describe how Doppler capability was incorporated with conventional radar observations.
