NCAR/EOL's S-Pol radar is an advanced, transportable, ground-based dual-polarimetric 10 cm wavelength (S-band) weather radar. This image shows S-Pol deployed in Taiwan as part of TIMREX, a joint US-Taiwan multi-agency field program conducted in the plain and western mountain slope regions of southern Taiwan. TIMREX focuses on the multiple scale physics of heavy rain and flood producing convective systems and their accompanying quantitative precipitation forecast/estimate problems.
