Vaisala Weather Radar - We see more

Vaisala C-band weather radar complements our full offering of remote and in-situ sensing products. There are two C-band models available:

  • Vaisala Weather Radar WRM100
  • Vaisala Weather Radar WRM200

WRM200 is a dual polarization Doppler weather radar with already proven new applications like HydroClass™ - real time operational hydrometeor classification software. This software is the first COTS product that uses real time polarization measurements for classifying targets into categories like hail, graupel, rain, snow etc.

WRM100 is a single polarization Doppler weather radar with upgrade possibility to dual polarization.

Both models provide benefits like:

  • superior data quality and more accurate measurements
  • easy access for maintenance and reduced maintenance costs
  • semi-yoke style antenna/pedestal with reduced momentum of inertia and weight

On top of this, you can select among several applications such as:

  • weather surveillance
  • severe weather monitoring
  • hydrometeorological applications, such as flood forecasting
  • airport wind shear detection
  • hurricane/typhoon/cyclone tracking
  • hail detection
  • weather modification
  • meteorological research
  • launch support systems

 Vaisala is also the first meteorological hardware provider that has a complete offering of services in its product portfolio. Vaisala weather radar services start from maintenance, training, support, extended warranty and on-site repairing, and extend to even operating the radar when that is what our customers want. Vaisala is capable of providing easy access to professional support, and can guarantee that your equipment is kept up-to-date with latest technology in applications, software and hardware, when you select a Vaisala Service Agreement accordingly.
