WEATHER RADAR
Project RAD-Brasil
Network (integration)
- 22 weather radar in
operation (now)
- 2 under installation
- 4 in planning stages
- 15 under discussion
- In Brazil, different
institutions use different
radar bands and models
- complex integration

-Only a portion of
Brazil (Central
Southern region) has a
lightning detection
network

Wind Profilers and LIDAR (in Brazil)
 There are no operational network of
wind profilers and LIDARs
 Experiments sone only in specific field
experiments for research purposes (e.g.
LBA Experiment in Amazonia)
