The X-Band Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar (XPOL) is a ground-based, transportable polarimetric radar manufactured by ProSensing. XPOL characterizes clouds and precipitation by measuring reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and polarimetric parameters. XPOL operates at 9.41 GHz, has a typical beamwidth of 1.4 degrees, and offers selectable range resolution of 15-150 meters. Measured polarimetric data is automatically post-processed to provide real-time meteorological data products.
