Claim 0:
1. A computer apparatus comprising:
at least one processor in data communication with a memory storing processor executable code for configuring the at least one processor to:
perform a first radar imaging step with a first beam having a first pulse width;
identify one or more weather events from the first radar imaging step;
determine size and contours of each of the one or more weather events based on the first radar imaging step;
determine 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
perform 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.
