Abstract
The first part of a history of the use of storm surveillance radars by operational military and civil weather services in the United States is presented. The history of radar meteorological research is long and distinguished but already well described. Hence, this paper and its companion focus on the history of operational radar meteorology from its birth in World War II through the introduction of the first two operational Doppler weather radars. This part deals with the pre-Next-Generation Weather Radar era. An appendix to this part contains what is known by the authors about the principal technical characteristics of most of the radars discussed in both parts.
