The new S-band array's Doppler range 240 kilometres, double its C-band predecessor
It takes over from one that had been in place since 2003 and features updated technology to help meteorologists to "better detect and predict severe weather," Environment Canada spokesperson Samantha Bayard said in an email to the Citizen.
Although most of that redundancy is focused on the Lower Mainland, the new Baldy Hughes array shares some space with the now-upgraded stations in Spirit River, Alberta, which has a 400-kilometre range, at Silver Star Mountain near Vernon, and once it's completed, a new one at Halfmoon Peak on Vancouver Island.
And the new radar provides "reduced attentuation," or more to the point, higher power that gives "better storm penetration performance."
