FURUNO's meteorological monitoring and analysing system

Case study
Transportable & Adaptable Observation Unit (University of Queensland, Australia)

Small size allows the FURUNO WR-2100 weather radar to easily be mounted on a transportable platform creating a mobile observation unit so that it can be deployed in any desired area.

Wildfire observation

The WR-2100 is a versatile unit which can be used for both meteorological and many other applications. The University of Queensland in Australia has developed a wildfire prediction model using the WR-2100 radar. The WR-2100 small size is perfect for both transportation and safe relocation.

Observation Result

The WR-2100 provides unique, detailed information of the fire plumes and wind speed/direction within the fire activity to the researchers.
