Phased array radar 📡 ➕ adaptive scanning 🛜 🟰 faster, smarter storm tracking. Our experimental phased array radar can use adaptive scanning to focus on the part of the atmosphere where storms are happening 🌪️. Giving forecasters faster updates and more information to keep you safe! Watch to learn how it works and why it matters!
