X-band Doppler radars for advanced 3D weather monitoring
Furuno
Furuno will present its two X-band weather Doppler radars at the expo – the single polarimetric WR110 and the dual polarimetric WR2120.
The WR110 single polarimetric radar is extremely efficient for normal rain observations. The WR2120 allows for even more sophisticated observations including three-dimensional analysis of heavy precipitation cumulonimbus and localized rainfall prediction.
By creating a multi-radar system consisting of synchronizing several WR2120 and WR110 radars, real-time 3D monitoring of meteorological phenomena can be achieved with an affordable and reasonable investment.
Furuno’s weather radars use solid-state technology, reducing overall operating and maintenance costs thanks to low power consumption and fewer required replacement parts. Moreover, its solid-state technology provides high-precision monitoring of precipitation with a wide range of signal processing and data format capabilities.
No heavy machinery is needed to transport or install the radar. It can easily be installed by a two-person crew. Power requirement is a standard AC power outlet used for domestic appliances (100V/200V). The radar can be installed almost anywhere without special structures or configurations.
Furuno X-band radars can supplement, reinforce and fill in areas that other global surveillance weather radars cannot reach.
By increasing the number of radars, it is possible to cover a wider area.
Furthermore, when the radars are installed in the same area, their observation data can be combined, increasing accuracy and providing vector Doppler velocities and enhanced 3D imaging.
