The NOAA X-band dual-Polarimetric (NOXP) radar is a ground-based mobile radar developed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). It has been used to provide radar measurements of various weather phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, winter storms, and dust storms. It operates at a 3 cm wavelength allowing it to detect smaller particles such as 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.
