In 2002, Bay News 9 was the first TV station in the area to provide a VIPIR Doppler weather radar system. In 2007, Bay News 9 became the first station in Florida, and one of only a handful of stations, to provide a Dual-Pole Doppler Radar system. On Monday, January 5, 2009, Bay News 9 launched its upgraded doppler radar system called Klystron 9.
The Tampa Bay area is seeing heavy rain and storms Thursday morning, stretching into the afternoon, leading to some flood potential in areas.
NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of ...
A klystron is a specialized linear-beam vacuum tube, invented in 1937 by American electrical engineers Russell and Sigurd Varian, [1] which is used as an amplifier for high radio frequencies, from UHF up into the microwave range. Low-power klystrons are used as oscillators in terrestrial microwave relay communications links, while high-power ...
As Hurricane Ian churned toward the Florida coastline ahead of its landfall on Wednesday, thousands turned to Webcams for updates.The storm rapidly intensified into a Category 4 hurricane, and the ...
A twystron is a type of microwave -producing vacuum tube most commonly found in high-power radar systems. The name refers to its construction, which combines a traveling wave tube, or TWT, with a klystron, producing a tw-ystron.
9 metre (30 feet) diameter antenna. Uses a klystron to produce a wavelength signal of 10 cm. (S-Band) Doppler since 1993 and dual polarization was added in 1999. King City weather radar station This research radar is essentially a WSR-98A (see below) upgraded with dual polarization capability in 2004. The rest of the network: [8]
The brothers showed an early interest in electricity, and after independently establishing careers in electronics and aviation they came together to invent the klystron, which became a critical component of radar, telecommunications and other microwave technologies.
