New high-resolution scanning X-band FMCW polarimetric Doppler radar is finally mounted on the roof of Delftse Poort (Nationale Nederlanden) in Rotterdam. It was done in the framework of the Raingain project with the goal to provide the high resolution precipitation mapping sensor information to Rotterdam municipality services. Our group will support the development of signal and data processing algorithms, the radar maintenance and data acquisition. The combination of this radar with our existing radars (PARSAX, IDRA, MESEWYI) also opens new possibilities to study further the atmospheric targets characteristics using spatially distributed, multifrequency radar systems.
