This case study describes the procedure followed to select a site
for a C-band weather radar in the area of Epirus, northwestern
Greece. The established objectives depend upon the purpose of
use, which is, firstly, the detection and tracking of storms (rainstorms,
hailstorms, and snowstorms) requiring operations at a
low elevation angle as well as the detection of the vertical structure
and evolution of a storm. Second purpose consists of precipitation
intensity measurements and areal precipitation analysis,
which is related to the incidence of permanent echoes and obstructions
as well as to the maximum range achievable.
