Next Generation Radars (NEXRADs) are used to detect wind and precipitation to help National Weather Service forecasters predict storms. This book assesses the performance of the Sulphur Mountain NEXRAD in Southern California, which has been scrutinized for its ability to detect precipitation in the atmosphere below 6000 feet.
