Weather radar is an indispensable component for remote sensing of the atmosphere, and the data and products derived from weather radar are routinely used in climate and weather‐related studies to examine trends, structure, and evolution. The need for weather remote sensing is driven by the necessity to understand and explain a specific atmospheric science phenomenon.The importance of remote sensing is especially evident in high‐profile observational programs, such as the WSR‐88D (Weather Surveillance Radar) network, TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission),and ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurement). A suite of ground‐based and airborne radar instruments is maintained and deployed for observing wind, clouds, and precipitation.
