Korppoon säätutka, Weather radar station in Korpo, Finland

The C-Band Doppler radar station stands 29 meters above ground level and 61 meters above sea level on a hilltop in Korpo island.

The radar installation, which began operations on August 15, 1997, replaced an outdated radar system previously located in the Masku water tower.

The station contributes to the maritime traditions of the region by providing weather data essential for fishing, shipping, and local navigation activities.

The radar antenna rotates 1-4 times per minute, generating weather images every five minutes and covering an observation range of 200 kilometers.

During winter, the radar can detect snowfall up to 150 kilometers away, monitoring weather patterns across the Archipelago Sea and reaching as far as Stockholm.
