Smart-R
Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar

The Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) is a mobile Doppler radar platform program operated by the University of Oklahoma. SMART-R is a C-band radar that is mounted on a truck to collect radar measurements during precipitation events such as tornadic storms, hurricanes, and flash floods. SMART-R has a beamwidth of 1.5 degrees and a selectable bin spacing of 67 to 2000 meters. The University of Oklahoma operates two SMART-R C-band radars: SR-1 (5635 MHz) and SR-2 (5612.82 MHz).
