The Furuno Squall Warning System is based on weather radar measurement and analysis. The weather radar continuously generates observational data, which are analysed every 5 minutes. For a formed squall line that will cause an alert, there will be high values for both reflectivity and doppler velocity, according to pre-set limits and present a warning when a squall is detected.
X-band doppler weather radar WR-110 (single-polarization)
The WR-110 use the same antenna as the WR-2120, but the vertical polarization – and processing channels are omitted. The result is a very cost-effective single polarization doppler weather radar, well suited for automatic operation.
X-band Doppler weather radar WR-2120 (dual-polarization)
The WR-2120 is our most advanced X-band Doppler weather radar. The dual polarization enables attenuation correction, increased detectability and expand the capability for a detailed high precision and localized weather detection. The radar uses doppler technology and gives accurate radial wind velocity measurements.
