Australia buys radar for weather research at sea

On April 4, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) said Australia had purchased a double polarized radar installed on a new research vessel called "Investigator" to study the time. weather, climate, atmospheric conditions on the oceans.

This massive 2-ton radar is a new generation product of weather technology, which will be placed at the top of the "Investigator" vessel .

Investigator Ship

Radar has the ability to gather information within a radius of 150km from the ship, including data on clouds up to 20km above the tropical sea, Antarctic hail, at any time and at any time. Where on the oceans, help meteorologists gather more information about the atmosphere.

The 93.9-meter "Investigator" is currently under construction and will be launched later this year. The ship soon received the attention of the scientific community in this country and many comments about the design and installation of specialized equipment, including weather radar.

According to a member of the technical consultancy group, this radar not only provides detailed data on rainfall but also the size of rain drops, water mixes and which ice form the initial cloud, the type of water crystal. Which stone appears in it .

High-precision data collected by the radar will be a valuable asset to the global climate and weather research community.
