The SBU X-band Phased Array Radar (SKYLER) is a ground-based Doppler radar located at the Stony Brook University (SBU) Radar Observatory. It is operated by the SBU School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and has been integrated into mobile platforms for weather research since 2019. SKYLER is an X-band (9.25 GHz) polarimetric radar that measures radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, spectrum width, and other radar parameters. It has a beamwidth of 1.98 degrees and a spatial resolution of 5 to 10 meters.
