CASA MA1 Radar

The hardware and software of the MA1 radar has been developed by the students, staff, and faculty of CASA (Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere), a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, headquartered at the University of Massachusetts.

   

More neat things to look at

Shown below are live video feeds from two cameras mounted inside the white protective cover (known as a "radome") visible at the top of the MA1 tower at the left. The cameras should be showing the radars spinning within the radome. (If the images appear jerky, that's likely due to the transmission of the video over the Internet; the motion of the radar itself is "smooth as silk".)

Below the video feeds below are links to a movie of recent weather seen by the MA1 radar, and a link to a weather station on campus.
