ABSTRACT:
A radar system and method for observing weather phenomena which sets a weather model corresponding to weather conditions, determines the attenuation of a radio wave due to the atmosphere and particles based on the weather model, calculates a radar range using the attenuation of the radio wave, and determines radar system parameters based on the radar range.
