S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C About antenna rotation: Basically the antenna is rotating clockwise based on the azimuth origin during PPI and Volume scan as shown on Figure 2.1. This white line is a scanning line Figure 2.1: Antenna rotation About shielding area: There may be some areas where mountains or other obstructions are blocking the radio wave of radar. RainMap indicates those areas with a gray color. First the “Clip_RainMap.csv” file that describes the grayed out area must be created.

S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C In Figure 2.4, a building exists at a 5,000m distance from radar and in the azimuth area between 30 to 50 degrees. The building also shields the first 10 degrees of the radar’s elevation. Therefore the file needs 10 degrees of elevation entered in each distance cell to 5,000m (100 x 52 rows) and each azimuth cell between 30 to 50 degrees (columns 61 to 100) in csv file. Also a mountain exists at a 10,000m distance from radar and in the azimuth area between 20 to 60 degrees.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Binary data: Turn ON or OFF to record in binary data format. (Refer section 5.2 or 5.3. for detail of binary file format) Binary save path: Setup a folder to save the binary data.

S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Scans vertically (RHI) while moving horizontally, continuously within a preset azimuth and elevation range generating a 3 dimensional rectangular solid angle. Horizontal data is not saved. It continuously moves between the preset clockwise and counter clockwise azimuth and horizontal limits. Example of Settings: The RainMap setting should be entered as shown in table 3 to observe the parameters shown below: Elevation angle: 3.5 to 22.0 deg. Range of azimuth angle: 30.0 to 60.0 deg.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Note 3: When elevation movement mode is set to "AUTO" the upper limit value of elevation movement speed can be set to 6.0 [rpm]. After the observation of one elevation angle the movement to the next observed elevation can be completed faster. It is possible to select "MANUAL", but "AUTO" setting is recommended. Sector PPI scan (Refer to Figure 2.

S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C EL transition speed [rpm] (Manual setting): Set an elevation direction rotation speed during elevation change in volume scan (Horizontal Sequence) observation. Elevation direction rotation speed = [Volume Scan elevation moving direction of rotation speed] + [Volume Scan elevation movement difference of rotation speed] AZ rotation speed [rpm]: Set volume azimuth rotation speed for each elevation. EL angle 0 – 31 [deg] Set each elevation variation, up to 32 different values.

S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Recommend values for pulse setting: In radar operations it is necessary to select the optimum setting for the location while considering all related trade-offs. For example; there is no way to observe rain with high accuracy using a fast antenna rotation speed or having wide detection range, high PRF, high sensitivity, and high resolution. The length of the detection range and the value of PRF are a trade-off relationship.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C High sensitivity: Approximately 1mm/h can be observed. Middle sensitivity: Approximately 1.5mm/h can be observed. Low sensitivity: Approximately 2.5mm/h can be observed. PRF1 High: PRF1 Middle: PRF1 Low: PRF 1700 to 2000Hz (Doppler range ±54.6 to ±64.2m/s) 1300 to 1700Hz (Doppler range ±41.7 to ±54.6m/s) 1100 to 1300Hz (Doppler range ±35.2 to ±41.7m/s) High Mid Low Table 2.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C 2.4. Advanced Setting 1) Setting Press [Ctrl] + [Alt] and click [Setting] simultaneously to open advanced menu in the settings menu. 1. Display Echo update: Select the echo display update type: ・No Update: Radar echo will not display on screen. This can substantially reduce the CPU load. ・Flash Update: Radar echo display will only update after one full rotation. This can help reduce the CPU load. ・Round Update (Default setting): Updates the Radar echo display in real-time.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C 5. Zero position offset Origin EL position offset correction [deg]: Setup an elevation offset from horizontal level. Measure the elevation angle after antenna initialization and set the offset field. AZ offset to north: Setup an azimuth offset angle clockwise from origin of radar. e.g.: The azimuth origin of the radar is 45 degrees (measured value) from north. This means 315 degrees difference from north to the azimuth origin. The value to input into “Azimuth Offset” is 315 degrees.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C 8. Interference rejection Many radar designs include an operator-selectable feature called interference rejection (IR). The purpose of IR is to reject or suppress interference into a radar receiver from co-channel transmissions from other radars. For reasons that will presently become clear, IR is not effective against non-radar (communication -type) signals. IR is especially useful in radar bands in which large numbers of radars are tuned to the same frequency.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C 12. Doppler velocity Doppler Velocity Calculation: Select ON or OFF to calculate the Doppler velocity. SQI threshold: Setup SQI (Signal Quality Index) threshold (0.00 to 1.00) 13. Signal processing Rainfall intensity estimation method: Select a Rainfall intensity estimation type. ・ Zh: Use horizontal amplitude information only. ・ Zh, Ah: Zh is calculated from the value that corrected rain attenuation by the Ah method. ・ Kdp+Zh: Use complex information, amplitude, and phase.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Rain output threshold [mm/h]: It is a data threshold in rainfall intensity. Default setting will be 0mm/h that may see a joint part between P0N and V0N. Change the setting to around 0.5 [mm/h] if it is annoying. If you want to observe even to the light rain, then set this threshold to below 0.5 [mm/h]. Kdp output threshold (Kdp) [deg/km]: Setup Kdp value of Signal processing to calculate Propagation phase difference rate of change Kdp[deg/km]. The default value is 0.3 [deg/km].
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Zdr Invalid MP Noise “OFF” Zdr Invalid MP Noise “ON” Zh φdp φdp Invalid MP Noise “ON” Invalid MP Noise “OFF” Note: Default value: Z = 200 R ^ 1.6 refers to Marshall-Palmer relation. Please refer to the CIMO Guide to change the coefficient, please be aware of the possibility that rainfall error may increase. (RM: Marshall, J. S., and W. McK. Palmer, 1948: The distribution of raindrops with size. J. Meteor., 5, 165–166.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C 2.5. Precipitation Estimates Methods It is possible to accommodate by adjusting the following parameter if rainfall is large or small. Zh method 1. Use standard equation, 2. Parameters “B” and “β” are able to set by maintenance interface. Default value of “B” is 200. ”β” is 1.6. Zh unit is using mm6/mm. Zh, Ah decay correction method 1. Calculate from Zh and Ah 2. Where, the parameters b1, b2 and range bin data resolution are able to set by maintenance interface.

(*6) This value is antenna-end output power.
S2E-17-0208_OM_WR2120_C Additional explanation: The weather radar has narrow beam called “pencil beam”. Both horizontal and vertical planes on beam width of pencil beam are the same. In order to capture accurate data it is necessary to scan hemisphere over the radar while changing its elevation angle as shown on Figure 5.1. 9km ・ ・ ・ 3km ・ ・ ・ 2km 1km Figure 5.1: Basic volume scan The WR2120 radar will output the data files for each elevation angle.
