Radar Truck

As part of the Radar Observatory at SoMAS, the mobile Radar Truck contains the following equipment:

1. Skyler, low cost, low power X-band phased array radar
2. AirMar Weather Station for measuring temperature, wind, pressure, humidity
3. Parsivel Disdrometer that measures the size, number and fall speed of precipitation (how much rain/snow, how fast and how big are the drops/flakes)
4. Micro Rain Radar Pro (MRR-Pro), which analyzes the clouds above to find the different layers where snow turns begins to melt and then form rain drops, as well as the fall rate of precipitation.
