The C-band dual polarization full coherent weather radar is new generation weather radar, which is a version with addition of dual polarization function based on the Doppler weather radar. It has two operation modes, one is the dual line polarization transmit/ receive mode, the other is the horizontal liner transmit and dual liner polarization receive mode. The radar is used for application in weather, weather artificial intervention, water conservancy, aviation, military and scientific research sectors.

X-band weather radar is mainly used to obtain reflectivity factors, radial velocity, spectrum width and polarization parameters of cloud and rain targets within an effective range. It is a powerful tool for the analysis of medium-scale and small-scale weather system, warning of severe convection and formulate short-term weather forecasts. It can be used for the real-time monitoring and warning for medium-scale and small-scale storms, hails, strong wind shears, cyclones, tornadoes, high winds and other disastrous weather.
