X-band Phased Array Radar (PAR) installed at the top of a building in Suita Campus, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, and time series of the 3 dimensional thunderstorm structure captured by the PAR system in every 2 minutes, showing how the thunderstorm structure changes in a short time. Actual temporal resolution of the PAR system is 10 to 30 seconds for 60 km range and the continuous images of the evolution of the thunderstorm can be obtained with the developed system. One of the scientific results using the PAR with lightning location system appears in Wu et al. GRL, 2013.
