Introduction

The Warning Decision Training Division has developed operator training to support the Radar Data Acquisition Unit/Radar Product Generator (RDA/RPG) Build 19 deployment. This build has multiple features that support operations, including:

• Introduction of new VCP 112, which uses the MPDA to create higher quality velocity products for severe weather operations


• Improvements to the rain-hail mixture with regard to biases dual-pol precipitation estimation


• Addition of low level supplemental scans to dual-pol QPE calculations.


• Improvements to the 2DVDA particularly with dealiasing error reduction and improved shear handling


• Expansion of the ZDR scale displayed in AWIPS


• Additional supplemental low-level elevation angles at selected sites

The operator training for RDA/RPG Build 19 deployment consists of an on-line Articulate module.
