The NOAA X-band dual-Polarimetric (NOXP) radar is a mobile ground-based radar developed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). It is used to measure various weather phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, winter storms, and dust storms. Operating at a 3 cm wavelength, it can detect smaller particles like tiny water droplets and snowflakes. NOXP has a gate spacing of 75 m, a maximum unambiguous range of 88 km, and a volume scan time of 2-3 minutes.
