Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
NOAA/ESRL Physical Sciences Division together with CSU/CIRA (NOAA Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere) are working together in understanding the effects of the El Nino phenomenon in California and assisting local entities in preparing and dealing with what is expected to be a record year in California. As part of this effort an X-band radar will be located in the Santa Clara Valley area to experimentally monitor precipitation during a 4 month period.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  The Santa Clara Valley currently has very poor radar coverage due to its topography. With the onset of this years El Nino phenomenon theres is potential for very large rainfall amounts from weather systems coming from the Pacific Ocean, capable of devastating effects on infrastructure and people (as an example Superbowl 50 will be held in the area). The proposed X-band radar deployment will provide high-resolution, high-update data over the region of interest, supporting both real-time, on-the ground decisions by partner entities (water management, weather forecast office, emergency management) and different aspects of research on forecasting and monitoring rainfall from the El Nino phenomenon.
