UMass - CASA radar network in Oklahoma
The main objectives of CASA’s Oklahoma radar network was tornado early detection
It had been shown (e.g., Bedard) that tornadoes produce infrasound (~1Hz sound waves)
We deployed infrasound arrays at two of the Oklahoma radar sites
Results (presented at AMS in New Orleans and the EGU in Vienna)
Verified the ability of the Paroscientific barometers to detect distant tornadoes
Verified the ability of the Paroscientific barometers to detect wind turbine infrasound emissions

GPS Meteorology
GPS Determination of Precipitable Water Vapor
- Measure Total Delay = Ionospheric + Neutral Delays
- Ionospheric Delay (frequency dependent) determined by
comparing L1 & L2 GPS signals
- Neutral Delay=Wet Delay + Hydrostatic Delay
(Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Humidity dependent)
- Calculate Precipitable Water Vapor from Wet Delay
GPS-MET and Nano Baro for Flood Forecasting
Improved flood forecasting
benefits from a radar network coupled with a hydrologic model
A key variable for precipitation
forecasting is atmospheric water content
High spatial-temporal resolution
estimates of atmospheric water content can be made with GPS- meteorology
