Weather and RADAR processor (WARP)
The all data mosaic has been fully deployed and some issues have a risen from the new
mosaic in that some of the tops of weather are not being displayed due to them not
exceeding the display threshold. When WARP was first deployed to DSR the moderate
level of precipitation began at 30DBZ and our det ection level was only 16 levels of
precipitation , so anytime precipitation was close to the 30dbz mark , it was displayed.
The new mosaic has a resolution of 256 detection levels and only shows precipitation
that truly is 30DBZ or higher resulting in the ligh t precip that was overlapping before no
longer does.
We are currently working on lowering the moderate layer threshold to catch the tops that
we are missing now that aircraft are deviating around. We are pushing to try get the fix
implemented prior to co nvective season. The clutter mitigation mosaic that has been
undergoing testing is almost ready for deployment this will correct the clutter from the
NEXRADs and the spikes tha t facilities have been seeing.
