Environment and Climate Change Canada's radar coverage has expanded, with a new site now up and running in northern Alberta. This upgraded network means more accurate storm forecasting for meteorologists.
Doppler and dual-pol: What's the difference?
According to Hoffman, dual-pol provides more information on the size, shape and distribution of storms. That gives forecasters the ability to see if precipitation is snow or rain and whether there is hail. It allows for better-forecasted precipitation amounts. "It's like going from black-and-white television to colour," says Hoffman. "It can help us all that much more to make these decisions and timely forecasts or warnings."With this upgrade project, most of the nation is seeing expanded coverage, with the new radar sites seeing approaching severe weather from further out than before.That distance allows more time to issue warnings as severe weather develops.
