Subject: Amended: Modified Dates for WSR-88D Dual Polarization
Products and Level II Data Transmission
Reference: Technical Implementation Notices 10-22 (Amended) and
10-23 (Corrected) dated November 2, 2010
NWS is delaying the announced WSR-88D (Weather Surveillance
Radar-1988, Doppler) Beta Test Deployment of the Dual
Polarization modification at five sites. The referenced TIN is
available at:
http://www.weather.gov/os/notification/tin10-23dual_pol88dcca.htm
The first site to be modified will be the Vance AFB, OK (KVNX)
WSR-88D. The Dual Polarization modification will require that
the KVNX WSR-88D be taken out of service beginning February 14,
2011 and returning to service on or about March 4, 2011.
The Field Test of the Dual Polarization modification will enable
dissemination of Level II data from the KVNX WSR-88D on or about
March 4, 2011. The KVNX Level II data will contain the three
added dual polarization moments as announced in the referenced
TINs; however, the KVNX products will initially be the "legacy"
suite of products. Within a week the products will be expanded to
include Dual Polarization products.
Further information on the Dual Polarization Beta Test and
deployment schedule will be provided when available, expected by
March 2011.
