ADRAD
Definition
- The Meteorology department first began its study of convective storms with the use of a 3cm wavelength radar in the early 50's. In 1962, they upgraded to a 10cm, and in 1966, dual wave- length capability was added. After several modifications, the radar was placed on top of the newly completed Eller O&M Building in 1973. In 1992, the Aggie Doppler RADar was born with the installation of doppler capability. A final upgrade to the pedestal, removal of the side dishes, new processor, and work station occurred in 1997.
