The S-band Polarimetric (S-POL) Doppler radar is a ground-based transportable radar operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). It is a dual-polarization radar that provides radar measurements to characterize precipitation and convective systems. S-Pol operates at 2.7-2.9 GHz frequency and has a beam width of 0.92 degrees. S-Pol has a range of 150-675 m and a gate spacing of 37.5-150 m.
