Weather Radar System

Vanuatu Approves Installation of First Weather Radar System

The C-band Doppler radar system will be a major upgrade to Vanuatu’s weather observation capability as it will provide visual, high resolution weather data in near real-time, over a range of 450km.

The radar will provide high-resolution, real-time data that will make Vanuatu Meteorology & Geohazards Department (VMGD) weather forecasts more accurate and is a major upgrade to the climate early warning system.
