WSR-1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The WSR-1 or Weather Surveillance Radar-1 was one of the first weather radars. The WSR-1 series was a modified version of the AN/APS-2F radar, which the Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service) acquired from the Navy. The WSR-1A, WSR-3, and WSR-4 were also variants of this radar.[1]
