TL;DR: In this paper, the agile-beam multimission phased array radar (MPAR) discussed in this paper is one potential candidate that can provide faster scanning and offers a unique potential for multipurpose use to not only sample weather, but support air traffic needs and track noncooperative airplanes.

TL;DR: An improvement factor is introduced to quantify the BMX performance, which is defined by the reduction in data acquisition time using BMX when the same data accuracy obtained by a normal S-band phased-array radar is obtained.

TL;DR: The impetus for this paper is to explore the possibility of rapid refractivity retrieval by exploiting the rapid beam-steering capability of a phased-array radar, and it will be shown that, statistically, significant refraction fields can be obtained from as short as a two-sample dwell.

TL;DR: The National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) is a 10-cm phased array radar for use in studying and developing faster and more accurate warning, analysis and forecast techniques for severe and hazardous weather as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: An innovative monitoring network was implemented to support the operational and science programs for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics as discussed by the authors, which consisted of in situ weather stations on custom-designed platforms, including an HMP45C for temperature, humidity and pressure, a tipping bucket rain gauge, an acoustic snow depth sensor, a Pluvio 1 precipitation gauge and an anemometer placed at gauge height and at 10 m height.
