Description:

"The National Weather Service (NWS) proposes to install and operate an S-band Doppler, dual polarized weather radar in the Grays Harbor County area to improve analysis and prediction of strong winter storm systems that frequent the region. The NWS goals are to optimize radar coverage over areas not adequately served by the existing NWS radars in Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. Specifically, the radar will be sited to provide as much off-shore coverage as possible, while also covering the windward slopes of the Olympic Mountains, the Willapa Hills of southwest Washington, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the mouth of the Columbia River. The proposed radar would be similar to the Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988, Doppler and would be integrated into the NWS Radar Network. ... The NWS selected three sites from the list of 23 original sites for further consideration. This Expanded Site Survey/Environmental Assessment report provides technical information on the three possible alternative sites for an NWS Network Radar to serve Coastal Washington. This report compares and describes in detail the alternative sites under consideration by the NWS, and recommends an operating frequency for the proposed radar. The three sites are termed Langley Hill, Ocean City, and Saddle Hill"--Executive summary (p. i).
