© IPMA It is possible to improve the processes supporting the assessment of meteorological risks associated with maritime and air navigation in the Atlantic, contributing to permanent meteorological surveillance and also to short-term weather forecasting (up to three hours, “nowcasting”).The new radar uses technology that can detect precipitation within a radius of up to 300 km.This capability allows accurate monitoring of atmospheric conditions in real time, assessing the intensity of precipitation and predicting the movement of storms.The information collected is visualised in images updated every 5 minutes, essential for meteorologists and for issuing timely warnings to the population and civil protection services.Additional links:https://portal.azores.gov.pt...https://portal.azores.gov.pt/web/comunicacao/news-detail?id=18023653https://www.ipma.pt/opencms/pt/media/noticias/imagens/2025/IRF_4.pnghttps://acores.rtp.pt/local/radares-meteorologicos-entram-em-funcionamento-nas-flores-e-sao-miguel/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hk7W6TEdiA Copyright: IPMA ReferenceC10-i01Project locations Portugal Project websitehttps://www.ipma.pt/...
