The SEA-going POLarimetric (SEA-POL) Doppler radar is a C-band radar developed by Colorado State University. It is deployed on ships to collect radar measurements to characterize precipitation. SEA-POL typically operates at a 5.65 GHz frequency and has a beam width of 1 degree. It can provide dual-polarization measurements over a range excess of 200 km with a range resolution of either 54, 100, 180, or 300 m. Even though SEA-POL is typically used for ship-based measurements, it can be used for land-based operations.
