The National Weather Service is considering the installation of phased array radar technology, which would provide real-time data and improve warnings for severe weather, but has yet to determine ...

The radar, called the Airborne Phased Array Radar or APAR, will mount to the outside of a National Center for Atmospheric Research aircraft and provide “remarkably close 3D views of what is ...

Lee said phased array will likely become the standard for ground-based weather radar, but first it will be installed on NCAR’s C-130 aircraft. The technology itself will get evaluated while ...

Phased array radar has been used for weather surveillance and research for the past 20 years. Wes Moody, Communications Specialist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, says that the lab is ...

Phased array radar is lightning fast, literally. A scan of the entire sky can be done in 30 seconds. Targeted scans are even faster, nearly instantaneous.

Phased array radar systems represent a transformative advancement in weather measurement, offering rapid electronic beam steering and high-resolution monitoring of meteorological phenomena.

The prototype of the Phased Array Radar cost $45 million. Carlis doesn't yet know how much it would cost to upgrade the entire country, but they hope to have it ready in the 2030s.
