Super Radar: Superman Didn’t Have it this Good
We’ve all seen a movie where some tech operator stares at a radar screen with a rotating line while watching two blips come terrifyingly closer and closer to our hero. What is radar? How is it used? Why is it important? And, why should we care? Dr. Howell will address these questions (hopefully you’ll come away from this class as radar gurus or at least a little more curious). He’ll then talk about recent discoveries we’ve made at Chapman that we hope will turn the radar industry on its head.
