A lot of negative comments below about the “style” of the interviewee. To me he is refreshing in his focus on info made understandable for those who actually want to understand the content. So much mainstream media “information” is so dumbed down that it is worthless. I liked this delivery from a real person and knowledgeable source. 👍👍👍👍

going from minutes per frame to frames per minute sounds super cool
-
C'mon, y'all. Cut Dr. Palmer some slack. He's a meteorologist, not Jim Carey.
-
Speed of update should be especially useful tracking tornados and giving an earlier warning.
-
This is the absolute best video I've seen on how NEXRAD works vs Phased Array. Anyone can understand this interview and it's packed with information without "fluff". Great job!
-
This stuff is cool, but as a radar tech for the last 17 years, this is all old tech that's been used for air traffic control and military uses. We usually ignore and filter out weather with these types of radar, so it'll be cool to see it specifically used for weather monitoring.

As an Oklahoma native we needed this along time ago lol
-
Fabulous interview! As a meteorologist, the interviewer understood the research and formulated questions to allow the professor to speak with a surprising level of complexity. Very well done.

I wondered awhile back why phase array wasn’t in use as weather radar, this explained it. Thanks

This will be really big for a pilot's in-cockpit weather knowledge. NEXRAD typically has a 4 to 6 minute lag time which, when skirting a storm cell, can make a big difference in the decision factor. Onboard weather radar is helpful and real time but expensive and temperamental. Data linked near real time phased array weather radar will really aid pilots in negotiating storms and making better decisions in the air.

We've been hearing about Phased Array for decades. I even talked with Gary England about it before he retired, at a Veterans Day program visit he made to our children's school. Even then, he didn't think it would be real soon, but..eventually. Hope to see the integration w/Dual Pol and any other new developments in my lifetime.

I personally enjoyed Dr. Palmer. Thanks for the info!
-
Really excellent video. You, sadly, in YouTube it is getting difficult to sort out the channels that present genuine science and technology from opportunistic fakers. Good to see a new genuine channel appearing now.
-
Wow. This was the coolest video I've watched on youtube in days. I sure hope they are able to get this operational at scale in as short of a time as possible.
-
This is fascinating! My military experience meets with my meteorological interests! I’d never thought I’d see the day where the equipment is integrated. Cool
-
This is really exciting. My dad worked in developing phased array for the military back in the ‘60s. It’s great to see it being applied like this.
-
Sounds amazing. I remember phased array was first used as an early warning system for ICBMs coming over from the Soviets. The weather system could prioritize the implementation to those facing the worst threats. I'm sure Tornado Alley has already been mentioned in the comments. Six minutes per frame is a long time to wait when there is a tornado in town.
-
There are far too many “radar holes” in coverage, especially in rural areas. This greatly degrades the ability to read a storm’s threat and issue timely, specific warnings. It’s a scandal. Additional weather radar installations are needed to fill these coverage gaps and protect lives.
-
Hopefully, this radar will have a smoother roll out compared to NEXRAD when it is ready for mass deployment.

Great video! Thank you! Good interview questions. And I think Dr. Palmer did a pretty good job of translating from Technical language to layman's terms! IMO it seems like he enjoyed doing the interview. I subscribed to your channel, by the way.
