Vaisala C-band radars are dual polarization Doppler weather radars providing best-in-class weather system detail for more accurate and timely forecasting. They can even distinguish between liquid and frozen precipitation within rain clouds and eliminate non-meteorological targets from radar data.
NO COMPROMISES
Radar frequency is no longer a compromise between optimizing sensitivity and limiting attenuation (loss of sensitivity due to heavy precipitation).
Vaisala’s C-band weather radar with attenuation correction delivers highly sensitive data capture without the worry of attenuation along the radar path.
The C-band radar produces clear, clutter-free, high-resolution data especially in severe and heavy precipitation cases.
Vaisala weather radar also integrates well with WindCube® wind lidar, as well as other third-party radars and sensors to create a more complete weather detection system
Simply put, Vaisala C-band radars are built to work while requiring minimal upkeep. Secure network link access reduces site visits, while the integrated Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) ensures continuous operation during temporary power outages. The intelligent mechanical design further simplifies routine maintenance by giving you access to any part of the system without needing to unmount the antenna or pedestal.
