MWR Software
The data processing is based on web server architecture and therefore all products are available over HTTP interface and easily accessible to any user using web browser. The access to the web interface is secured by encrypted (https) protocol, and protected by password. The data processing software takes the earth curvature and atmospheric refraction into account. During the data processing, the non-meteorological data, like ground
clutters, are removed (filtered) in final visualisation products.
The data processing software offers interpretation of the 3D data in following standard outputs:
• PPI (Plan Position Indicator) one radar elevation
• CAPPI (Constant Altitude PPI) horizontal cross section
• RHI (Range Height Indicator) vertical cross section
• Echo Tops heights of cloud tops
• Composite Reflectivity (Column max) maximas in columns
• VIL (Vertically Integrated Liquid Water) column sums
• Rainfall Accumulation
Low pulse capacity enables to monitor important dangerous radar meteorological objects up to distance of 100 km (200 km). Radar meteorological objects with lower intensity can be monitored only up to distance of 60 km (higher intensity - up to 100 km, early warning system - up to 200 km). The device thus complies with standards for operation in settled areas (towns, airports, highways, yachts, etc.).
MWR can complete “white spots” in existing large radar network or a complete network of MMRs can be established in ares with no radar coverage. Small size and low weight enables easy installation and operation.
