SOPHy: Scanning-system for Observations of Peruvian Hydrometeorological-events
Abstract
In this paper we present the current progress in the construction of the first X-band dual-pol mobile weather radar (SOPHy) in Peru. This portable mobile system allows scans in azimuth and elevation with a maximum range of 60 km. The radar transmission and reception systems are based on SDR (Software Defined Radio) technologies for configuration flexibility. The objective of the radar is to study precipitation in an area of several tens of kilometers around the radar, in order to research the climate and atmospheric conditions in Peru.
