RODRIGUEZ DIEZ, Vladímir; DIEZ RODRIGUEZ, Milagros  y  RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ, Orlando Lázaro. Weather radar simulator based on space Reflectivity distribution. Energética [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.2, pp. 103-112. ISSN 1815-5901.

Weather radar are powerful measurement instruments for electric power. Radar simulators allows to investigate the influence of its parameter on measurements. Its application comprehend the study of influence of hydrometeor's physical properties and radar configurations in observation; and the study of climate model performance upon the confrontation of simulator output versus actual observations. In this work simulator input is given as a spacial reflectivity (proportional to returned power) distribution in atmosphere, obviating the complex relation between this and physical properties of meteorological target. The result is a simulator for the study of volume scan pattern and acquisition and processing scheme effects on weather target observation.

Palabras clave : spacial reflectivity distribution; weather radar simulator.
