Short Description
Trailer for transporting the mobile weather radar.
One goes to the investigation area and looks for a location which allows a free overview as far as possible.
There the trailer is positioned, the radar is extended with the scissor jack and put into operation. Likewise, the basic meteorology is put into operation on the measuring mast of the trailer. When the radar is running and the data transmissions are up, the additional mobile measuring units are distributed in the area. One returns to the location of the radar. In the towing vehicle, the necessary analyses are carried out on site and in the case of larger projects, data are transmitted to partners.
Other missions run similarly, but are always adapted to the topographical conditions.
It is always important to look for a location with a clear view in order to enable the 3-dimensional measurements of the radar. By the adjustment possibilities of the radar scans, one can adapt to the conditions. Due to the separate towing vehicle, one is very flexible in the area.
