Note
titleAttention:

Nautical X band radar and WAMOSII X band radar are two independend systems. For scientific use only WAMOSII radar can be used.

The system is run by staff of the Weather Station (DWD). Scientific co-use is possible according to prior agreement with AWI Logistics / Principal Investigator.

The system consists of an X-band radar situated on port side of crow's nest platform B. The radar control unit (SAM Radar Pilot 1100) as well as PC running WAMOS software and software for ice functionality are located in Aerologie Laboratory (A112).
The system is receiving ships speed and heading, water depth, wind speed and averaged ADCP currents from DShip.
