(KWTX) -This week we are talking with Dr. Robert Palmer, the Executive Director of the Advanced Radar Research Center at the University of Oklahoma, about their new Horus Radar. The Horus Radar combines Dual Polarization and Phased Array technology to provide high quality radar data at a speed never before seen. Current Nexrad radars send out updates very 3-5 minutes, but with the Horus radar we would be able to get radar updates in just a few seconds.
