European Conference on Radar in Meteorology and Hydrology (ERAD) is an international scientific conference that is organised every two years from 2000.
[P. Meischner, 2000. Editorial. ''Phys. Chem. Earth (B)'', 25 (10-12), 811.]
The idea of ERAD, which has been perpetuated since its first edition in 2000, is to create an open forum between students, academics, engineers, end users and operational radar operators working with or using
weather radar
Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse- ...
s and weather radar data. The goal of this conference is to facilitate mutual understanding between data producers and data users and to help young generations accessing state-of-the-art knowledge on radars, radar signal and radar applications through communication with the most renowned scientists of the field.
