Great Deal!

I am a grad student. Everybody in our lab has this book. It is a very classic textbook for Doppler weather radar.

Excellent Refference Source

As the arthors stated in the Preface, the book is intended as a reference source for academics and professionals interested in the theory and applications of Doppler Radar. It is not one for simply interpreting the display.
