Title:
WEATHER PHENOMENON OCCURRENCE POSSIBILITY DETERMINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/126171
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In an embodiment, this system is characterized by being provided with: an acquisition means for using a radar to irradiate radar waves into the sky, receive reflected or scattered waves resulting from the reflection or scattering of the radar waves by particles composing a cloud, and repeatedly acquire a series of three-dimensional data necessary to predict a weather phenomenon from the reflected or scattered waves within a period of time shorter than the time necessary for the weather phenomenon to occur; an analysis means for carrying out analysis for detecting a particular temporal variation in a parameter relating to the weather phenomenon from the three-dimensional data that is repeatedly acquired; and a determination means for, on the basis of the analysis result, determining the possibility of the occurrence of the weather phenomenon if the particular temporal variation has been detected.
