Radiometrics provides application-specific weather decision support systems built around our suite of atmospheric remote sensing instrumentation, decision support tools, and display systems.
Radiometrics instrumentation includes radar wind profiler, and MP-Series thermodynamic profiling microwave radiometers. Through partnerships and distributor agreements, Radiometrics’ suite of atmospheric remote sensing instruments also includes acoustic wind profilers, field mills, and solid-state X-Band and C-Band surveillance Doppler weather radars.
Radiometrics solutions support a broad range of customer applications including:
- Emergency Warning Systems (EWS) – Forecast and nowcast extreme weather conditions and associated dangers, including high winds, hail, heavy rain and flash flooding.
- Airports – Improved monitoring and nowcasting for windshear, inversions, fog, icing and other hazardous weather impacts to increase passenger safety and minimize flight delays.
- Spaceports – Cost-effective weather monitoring, nowcasting and forecasting for launch safety, including lightning, winds aloft and hazardous materials dispersal.
- Weather Services – Improved weather forecasts, alerts and warnings, especially for data-sparse locations such as mountain ranges and coastal areas.
- Utility companies – Forecasting electrical power requirements and reducing wildfire risks.
- Water districts – Increasing cloud seeding effectiveness and efficiency.
- Research – Monitoring global climate change, greater understanding of atmospheric dynamics, and improving NWP timeliness and accuracy.
