Weather Radar System :
Airport Meteorological Doppler Radar (DRAW) observes precipitation and airflow in precipitation areas around airports and air routes, and automatically calculates precipitation distribution, wind speed distribution, and low-level wind shear (microburst, shear line) from the obtained data. It is installed at nine major Japan airports nationwide with the aim of analyzing the results systematically and using the results to prevent aircraft accidents. Since 2016, we have been gradually updating to the new DRAW with dual polarization function.
