Description:

This paper will describe the local training program and the pre-training phase of WSR-88D implementation at WSFO Washington, DC (WBC). The goals of this program are: (1) to prepare the staff for the formal WSR-88D course at the Operations Training Facility (OTF, Norman, OK), the formal training phase; and, (2) to minimize "future shock" when the radar arrives on station and its products are integrated into daily operations by familiarizing them with the WSR-88D, (a Doppler radar) including its output and applications.
