This session explores the strategic modernization of the Malaysian National Weather Radar Network, focusing on the transition to a multi-band, dual-polarimetric framework. By integrating S, C, and X-band radars, this technological upgrade improves target differentiation and rainfall intensity estimation. The presentation highlights how high-precision real-time data enhances early warning capabilities for severe convective weather, eliminating geographical blind spots and advancing Malaysia’s commitment to the UN’s "Early Warnings for All" initiative.
