The Advantages of Duel Polarization Radar during a hurricane
Fri Aug 22 2008 09:15 PM

If you have any questions on Duel Polarization Radar I'll be glad to answer them

As we all now hail causes part of the damage to vehicles and house windows. A normal weather radar when the information is sent back, shows everything as rain fall. That includes hail, so meteorologists have to make predictions on whats hail or not by information of a spot's surroundings. Duel Polarization Radar is able to tell hail from rain because, unlike other radars where they send pulses on one axis it send pulses in 2 axis. Duel Polarization Radar has a feature that it only has, the Debris Feature. This allows it to detect flying debris making it easier to tell if there is something urgent. It also has a large sweep range, Bay News 9's Pinpoint Doppler 9000( located in Pinellas Park, FL) has Duel Polarization it's sweep area covers all of Florida. So Duel Polarization Radar is better then older radars.
