Doppler Radar; In 1964, scientists were working to acquire additional radar technology. A 3-cm wavelength research Doppler radar was added to NSSL’s list of assets — a move that would revolutionize weather observation. ... The 10-cm Doppler radar in Norman became operational during the 1971 spring tornado season.
