The transition to polarimetric (dual-polarised) radars began in 2017 with the upgrade of 4 Meteor 1500 radars located in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Sydney. [7] The network has further been enhanced through the installation of 8 new polarimetric Meteor 735 radars across WA, [8] NSW [9] & Victoria, [10] and two polarimetric WRM200 radars [11] manufactured by Vaisala, one to replace the ...
The Xenia, Ohio, F5 tornado of April 3, 1974.This was one of two tornadoes to receive a preliminary rating of F6, which was downgraded later to a rating of F5. [1]This is a list of tornadoes which have been officially or unofficially labeled as F5, EF5, IF5, T10-T11, the highest possible ratings on the various tornado intensity scales.
Aerial imagery of EF4 damage to homes in northeastern Greenfield, Iowa. Peak wind speeds were estimated at 170 mph (270 km/h) here. The tornado was rated as a mid-range EF4 with wind speeds estimated at 185 mph (298 km/h), reaching a peak width of 1,300 yards (1,200 m) along an 42.38-mile (68.20 km) path, remaining on the ground for 48 minutes.
Greenfield, Iowa: 309 mph (497 km/h) 318 mph (512 km/h) ≥309 mph (497 km/h) [e] A Doppler on Wheels recorded winds of 263–271 mph (423–436 km/h) approximately 30–50 m (98–164 ft) above the radar level. Following calculations to more accurately determine peak wind speeds, it was published that ground-relative winds of 309–318 mph ...

Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).
The Kasta 2E (NATO: Flat Face E, alternative name Casta 2E) is a modern Russian radar system. The development of the Kasta 2E surveillance radars was initiated in the former Soviet Union . Its primary objective is to overcome deficiencies or to satisfy the demand in low-level surveillance.
The site houses a AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar operated in 2021 by the United States Army's 1st Space Brigade. [3] Originally operated by approximately 100 soldiers, [4] that number has increased significantly since the site's initial construction, with a $35.8 million expansion in 2023 increasing the base's capacity to 1000.
