Vaisala weather radars
The future of weather radars is here – and it’s Solid
Learn more about the cutting-edge C-band weather radar technology for high-performance weather surveillance and smart early-warning decisions. The newest addition to our solid state weather radar family, Vaisala Weather Radar WRS300 provides high performance and exceptional accuracy in an integrated, low-maintenance package for improved prediction of and preparation for adverse weather.
Ultra-defined data for precipitation estimation and hydrometeor classification
Vaisala weather radars are perfect for producing clear, clutter-free, high-resolution measurements of rainfall events. The hydrometeor classification feature helps to clearly distinguish between different types of precipitation and improve data quality by eliminating moving, non-meteorological targets.
The advanced weather radar system solves many issues:
- Flexible and easy to use, with intuitive graphical displays and the most comprehensive and robust software in the industry for fast processing and sophisticated clutter filtering.
- The radar antenna plays a vital role in the quality of the data gathered. The dish shape, structure, and size optimize dual-polarization performance and provide excellent side-lobe reduction.
- Vaisala systems can be accessed from anywhere via a secure network link. All calibration work, and most other regular maintenance tasks, can be performed remotely so there is no need for site visits.
