Weather Radar WRK100
Weather Radar WRK100
WRK100 offers exceptional spectral purity and phase noise performance.
Key Benefits
Dual polarization technology
Helps users gain more accurate precipitation estimates, especially in severe and heavy precipitation cases, at considerably lower cost compared to the longer wavelength S-band radars.
Short term precipitation forecasts
Weather radar can offer yet another key tool for hydrology – the ability to provide accurate, short-term quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) which is of particular importance to flash flood forecasting.
Investment protection for the future
Vaisala’s modular approach and use of accepted open interface standards are designed to make the WRK100 upgradeable in the future. For example, the system can be purchased as dual-pol ready or upgraded in the field to dual polarization.
