ARMOR Doppler Weather Radar, Research weather radar at Huntsville International Airport, US

The ARMOR radar system operates with a C-band frequency of 5625 MHz and features a dual-polarimetric design for precise weather measurements.

Initially installed as a National Weather Service WSR-74C radar in 1977, the system received upgrades to Doppler capabilities in 1991 and dual-polarimetry in 2004.

The radar system represents a partnership between the University of Alabama in Huntsville and WHNT-TV for advancing meteorological research and education.

The radar measures precipitation patterns with resolutions from 60 to 500 meters and transmits data through vertical and horizontal polarized signals.

Data collected from ARMOR contributes to satellite precipitation missions and supports research in cloud physics and environmental monitoring studies.
