Mobile Alabama X-Band Dual Polarization Radar

The Mobile Alabama X-Band radar (MAX) is a truck-mounted radar owned and operated by the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). MAX is often used during severe weather deployments. In addition to its mobility, MAX also has a quick set up time. MAX is a joint effort between UAH and Baron.
