Abstract

IP1 is a prototype CASA radar sensor network located in southwestern Oklahoma whose goal is to detect severe weather in the lower part of the atmosphere. At the center of this system´s control loop is its Meteorological Command and Control (MC&C). In this paper, we presented the overall control architecture for the IP1 network and highlight new features that have recently been added to the MC&C. We also present an analysis of the MC&C performance based on measurement data from a 5-day operation period. In addition, we introduce a distributed version of the MC&C.
