I find the use of Doppler Radar very interesting. I downloaded all the
NOAA free stuff I could find to view Doppler from my laptop using their
archived data.
However, I can not produce the times that are specific to seeing Ash Creek.
I was going to use Ash Creek as my test to determine if I was doing things
right. I am not!
And, I contacted the Phoenix NWS and they can not help with the times.
The issue is the time. Only certain specific times are archived, so how or
where did the data come from for the specific time??? Or is this something
a person has to pay for??? Are the NOAA archives where this data is coming
from or is another radar system being used?

Any info is appreciated.

Hello Listers,

I would like to thank everyone that submitted their answers to me for the
POP QUIZ, good job.

The question was....

Please tell me the first meteorite fall where radar Doppler was used to
locate and recover fragments please.


The Answer is.....

Ash Creek

Great link explaining how Ash Creek was the first meteorite fall that was
discovered on radar and how meteorite hunters were able to use this
information in locating meteorites.

I would like to congratulate this Lister, however all I have to go by is
this, csaconn at triadrrcom ..... Great job, they will be receiving a
Sylacauga micro meteorite. Stay tune for another meteorite quiz and if you
have any suggestions or ideas for questions, please email me.
