EDT - Severe thunderstorms prompted tornado warning in both northern and southern portions of Ontario on Friday afternoon. Starting on 29 June 2022, a pilot project allow external users access to the raw data, possibly including the 400 km data. New tornado warnings issued in Ontario amid severe storms.

The range extensions are intended to provide forecasters at the Meteorological Service of Canada, part of Environment and Climate Change Canada, with radar information while nearby radars are being replaced as part of the renewal. 4.5 star 278K reviews 10M+ Downloads Everyone info Install About this app arrowforward The Weather Network provides the same quality forecasts as our Canadian tv weather channel Enjoy quick. Starting in June 2021, some of the radars' ranges will be extended to 400 km (250 mi) in the lowest angle of reflectivity data. Furthermore, the new radars are dual-polarized which means precipitation type can be estimated directly. The renewal of the network, from 2018 to 2023, with new S-Band radars brings these numbers respectively to 300 km (190 mi) for reflectivity and 240 km (150 mi) for full Doppler coverage. Location of the weather radars in Canada.Įach had until 2018 a range of 256 km (159 mi) in radius around the site to detect reflectivity, 3 angles with a range of 128 km (80 mi), for detecting velocity pattern ( Doppler effect), and an extra long range up to 240 km (150 mi) at low elevation angle but strongly folded or aliased (where the maximum unambiguous velocity interval (±Vmax) is less than the full range of velocities being measured which leads to some being displayed with the wrong values ).
