Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
performing a first radar imaging step with a first beam having a first pulse width;
identifying one or more weather events from the first radar imaging step;
determining size and contours of each of the one or more weather events based on the first radar imaging step;
determining a second beam having a polarization distinct from the first beam and a second pulse width based on the determined size and contours to provide higher resolution data from the one or more weather events as compared to the first beam; and
performing a second radar imaging step with the second beam,
wherein the second pulse width is defined by a maximum range encompassing the size and contours, and the polarization is configured to discern specific horizontal or vertical aspects of the one or more weather events.
