Radar in Australia

I have change the link from Doppler radar to weather radar for two reasons:

1. In 1989, the radars in Australia were all conventional only reflectivity radars. Only the US was beginning to have operational Doppler weather radars. Otherwise all other radars with radial velocity processing capabilities were research units. In Australia, modernisation to upgrade six radars to Doppler capabilites began in 2003 [1]
2. Doppler radar is a general term for any radar that can process the velocity of the targets. It is not restricted to meteorological use. So a Doppler radar is used for aircraft, golf ball or even body fluid tracking. The wrong use of this term for Doppler weather radar stem mostly from the National Weather Service and medias in the United States when NEXRAD network has been introduced to the public.

The article on weather radar explain all that, including the details on Doppler processing in the modern units. Pierre cb (talk) 04:26, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Cyclone Orson/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Your biggest problem IMO is the first paragraph. I think it would sound better if it went something like this: Cyclone Orson formed on April 17 1989, as a tropical low to the northwest of Darwin Australia. Throughout the rest of that day the cyclone moved to the southwest whilst gradually developing into a tropical cyclone. During the next day the cyclone strengthened into a category 2 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale (Pipe link here to Tropical cyclone scales), with the Joint Typhoon Warning Center designating the system as Tropical Storm 28S. During April 19 the cyclone's forward motion slowed as it intensified into a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone with an eye developing whilst moving towards the southwest. During the following day the cyclone intensifed into a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone with winds of 210 km/h (130 mph 10-minute sustained). The rest of the article seems fine to me so im placing this article on hold whilst u decipher the first paragraph Jason Rees (talk) 01:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Date format and spelling

I've changed the date format to Australian English; in Australia, we put the day before the month. I've also changed the spelling "harbor" to "harbour". These changes are supported by the Manual of Style because the article has strong ties to Australia. Graham87 01:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020

• Avoid using small text within prose
• The Australian Bureau of Meteorology uses 10-minute sustained winds, while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center uses one-minute sustained winds.[9] The conversion factor between the two is 1.14.[10] Would this be better suited as a note?
• Pannawonica has a duplicate link.
• There's a decent amount of academic literature.

@Cyclonebiskit: I have looked at this one as well. The only big issue is the academic literature. Noah^Talk 14:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
