METEOR 700C AND 735C WEATHER RADAR
The METEOR 700C and 735C systems set the benchmark in weather radar technology and cost effectiveness. These systems are particularly suitable for meteorological services covering moderate distances and precipitation conditions in mid-latitude regions like Europe, North-America and northern Asia. The METEOR 700C and 735C combine cutting-edge technologies with straight-forward and reliable implementation. Both METEOR C-Band systems are supplied with GDRX® 5 Digital Receiver & Signal Processor and Rainbow® 5, the most up-to-date radar software package for meteorological users. They ensure optimum data quality for the accurate measurement of rain rates, precise detection of severe weather phenomena as well as tracking and nowcasting of such events. The METEOR 700C baseline configuration includes a 250 KW transmitter. Alternatively, the METEOR 735C boosts the peak power to more than 400 KW. It is driven by a solidstate modulator with graceful degradation providing faulttolerant operation and higher system availability. Both the METEOR 700C and METEOR 735C are available with single or dual polarization (DP). The dual polarization option enhances the measurement of precipitation intensity and makes way for the categorization of different types of hydrometeor like drizzle, rain, hail and snow. Thanks to its high-powered transmitter, the METEOR 735C operates in simultaneous DP mode with almost no loss of sensitivity compared to conventional 250 KW single-polarized systems.
