Columbia Weather Systems

Precipitation in its various forms can have significant impact on a range of operations, making it crucial to have a reliable source for current weather conditions. The new Pulsar 100™ Weather Station from Columbia Weather Systems offers the latest technology in rich precipitation data.   The 24-GHz Doppler radar precipitation-only monitoring system was developed in response to the requirements of Ferrari for vehicle testing, and “will be useful for applications that require fast response, high resolution, and precipitation types,” according to Nader Khoury, CWS president. “The Pulsar 100 is a powerful sensor with the latest technology that gives us rich data for multiple types of precipitation.” The Pulsar 100 sensor distinguishes precipitation types such as rain, freezing rain, hail, snow and sleet. It is maintenance-free, making it useful in areas that are difficult to access. The low-energy sensor detects precipitation from the first drop, enabling users to make imme...

This exciting new video  created by our interns gives a look into our Pulsar Weather Stations. The Pulsar line features durable, electronic sensors, incorporating various meteorological parameters in a compact, all-in-one sensor head. “(This is) the best technology when it comes to data collection for weather,” says Paul Deanno, Meteorologist at KPIX San Francisco . Some parameters are unique to respective models, including lightning detection, solar radiation, and precipitation type.
