The replacement radar unit has been lifted onto the roof of the Bureau of Meteorology Airport Facility. Over the next week or so the radar will be commissioned and handed-over. 5DME will be adding an information page to the web site shortly after we have all the data and the unit is operating.

The replacement radar unit for the Bureau of Meteorology at Adelaide Airport has arrived. It is being assembled on the ground before being lifted onto the building as a complete unit. 5DME photographers are documenting the upgrade and a special page on the site will be available a short time after completion.

 

In the picture you can see the old 44 radar on the far right. The new unit is the radome to the left. The new dish is still in it's crate near the old 44.
