"Good course book, but needs to consider updates" according to A. Gabel. Had to have this book for a graduate level radar class. Overall, the book isn't bad, but could use some updating. With upgrades being done with radars, there are new theories and techniques that are being used that I would liked to have gained from this book.. "classic must read for the weathr radar enthusiast" according to Donald M. McPherson. Classic text by the biggest names in the business. A must read if you are serious about working in the weather radar area. Well written with lots of data.. Four Stars Jonathan Well worth the purchase
