dual polarization weather radar
The Furuno WR-2120 weather radar is dual-polarized. This model simultaneously transmits and receives pulses in both horizontal and vertical orientations. As a result, the returning frequencies provide measurements of the horizontal and vertical dimensions of detected targets, thus providing the possibility to present high-precision echoes of the size, shape, and variety of targets.
The Furuno WR-2120 weather radar can be operated as a stand-alone system for local weather observations or be a part of a multi-radar system to cover a wider area. Together with other weather radars utilizing the S-band or even C-band for long-range coverage, the Furuno weather radars can be a handy gap filler, using the X-band and thus providing significantly detailed and high-resolution presentation of weather observations within limited areas.
