Abstract

Abstract Weather Radar provides real-time, spatially and temporally continuous precipitation data over a large area, and therefore it has been used for operational hydrology in Canada over the past decades. Recently, the focus on weather Radar in Canada has increased since the existing Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) C-band Radar network is replaced with S-band dual-polarized Radar. This paper aims to provide a wide-ranging literature review of the current Radar network in Canada and how it has been applied from a hydrological context. The review starts with an overview of the Canadian weather Radar network, emphasizing current and future developments. Next, the application of weather Radar in hydrology is summarized, including specific research and operational examples. Finally, some recommendations are provided for future studies based on new developments in Canada's weather Radar network.

气象雷达在加拿大业务水文中的应用综述

气象雷达提供了大范围内实时、空间和时间连续的降水数据，因此在过去的几十年里，它一直被用于加拿大的业务水文。最近，由于加拿大环境和气候变化(ECCC)现有的c波段雷达网络被s波段双极化雷达取代，加拿大对天气雷达的关注有所增加。本文旨在提供加拿大当前雷达网络的广泛文献综述，以及它如何从水文背景下应用。该报告首先概述了加拿大天气雷达网络，强调了当前和未来的发展。其次，总结了气象雷达在水文学中的应用，包括具体的研究和应用实例。最后，根据加拿大气象雷达网的新发展，对今后的研究提出了一些建议。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Water Resources Journal accepts manuscripts in English or French and publishes abstracts in both official languages. Preference is given to manuscripts focusing on science and policy aspects of Canadian water management. Specifically, manuscripts should stimulate public awareness and understanding of Canada''s water resources, encourage recognition of the high priority of water as a resource, and provide new or increased knowledge on some aspect of Canada''s water. The Canadian Water Resources Journal was first published in the fall of 1976 and it has grown in stature to be recognized as a quality and important publication in the water resources field.
