Abstract
A well-developed cumulonimbus and/or a mesoscale convective system (MCS) causes hazardous weather phenomena, including tornados, strong gust wind, lightning discharges, and torrential rain. These phenomena might lead to disasters and serious damages to our life. So we need to observe them in close range, thereby enabling us to elucidate their fine structure and characteristics. In order to achieve these purposes, more compact weather radars are developed. Their spatial and temporal resolution, and various functions are improved. In this paper, we introduce the recent development in weather radars for research. We additionally introduce new experiments for surveillances and detection for hazardous atmospheric phenomena with these radars.
