Overview
The METEOR 60DX is a highly sensitive X-Band weather radar system based on magnetron technology and featuring dual polarization as standard. Thanks to its compact design and unique radar-over-elevation configuration the METEOR 60DX is suitable for mobile applications and permanent installation. The innovative mobile version is mounted on a trailer, approved for road service worldwide.
Features
- Dual Polarization as standard: hydrometeor classification, enhanced measurement of precipitation intensity, real-time correction of rainfall attenuation
- Radar-over-elevation: no need for expensive rotary joints, reduced two-way losses
- X-Band offers maximum sensitivity at short to medium ranges at low cost
- Highly reliable and proven magnetron technology
- Features state-of-the-art signal processor GDRX® and Rainbow® application software
- Maximum use of COTS components for hardware flexibility
Applications include
- Weather surveillance and tracking
- Severe weather indication
- Hydrological forecasting (e.g. flood forecasting)
- Scientific research campaigns
- Wind shear detection at airports
