The RAPTOR™ Radar Wind Profiler line
is a proven implementation of modern techniques that supports unattended
operation delivering continuous measurement of profiles of vertical and
horizontal winds and virtual temperature (RASS) for weather forecasting,
aviation, space and military applications. Integration of a temperature,
humidity, and liquid water profiling radiometer is optional. RAPTOR delivers
high reliability with low acquisition and ownership costs. RAPTOR systems are
available in frequencies satisfying country- and application-specific
requirements. RAPTOR utilizes a unique, electronically steerable Yagi antenna
array that, along with the transmitter, is scalable so that systems can be
customized to meet each customer’s wind height specifications from near ground
to 18+ km; see: http://www.detect-inc.com/rwp.html |
