Vaisala to Donate C-Band Radar to Colorado State University
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
From the American Meteorological Society's Annual Meeting, Vaisala, the global
leader in environmental and industrial measurement, announced today that it is
donating a brand new, C-band radar to Colorado State University (CSU).
Vaisala's C-band radar uses dual polarization to locate precipitation, calculate
its motion, intensity, and determine the type of precipitation. Much smaller and
easier-to-deploy than other radars, the C-band radar will afford CSU researchers
and students the opportunity to further explore pursuits around extreme weather
in places they have not been able to make measurements before due to
transportability. The new radar will enable significant research for both CSU
and the broader atmospheric science community.
"Vaisala is committed to the advancement of environmental measurement especially
in the weather domain," said Vaisala CEO Kjell Forsén. "We highly respect the
efforts and achievements of CSU's faculty and students, and are pleased to
contribute a C-band weather radar to support the world-class research going on
there taking the art of weather radars into yet unseen levels of performance and
significance".
"Vaisala and CSU have a long, successful history together, and as a fellow
member of the atmospheric science community in Colorado, we are very proud to
donate the C-band radar to CSU," said Vaisala Inc. President and CSU alumnus
Scott Sternberg. "It's an extremely natural fit for Vaisala and will only
enhance the important work we are all working to achieve."
The state-of-the-art C-band radar donation is a unique and significant gift to
CSU, as the equipment is being developed specifically for the university, unlike
traditional collegiate gifts that are typically donated only after initial use.
"On behalf of CSU and our students, we are very grateful for Vaisala's donation,
as access to the radar offers the ability to run various experiments at
different locations around the globe - an important advantage for students,"
said Professor Chandra. "Due to its smaller size, the radar can travel with us
to international areas where we haven't been able to bring radars to before,
opening important possibilities to measure weather-related phenomena in new
locations. It's an exciting opportunity to teach our students and further our
research."
