Integrated radar solutions from Baron Services deliver a comprehensive suite of advanced meteorological and hydrological capabilities, from flexible 2D and 3D display workstations and real-time Doppler radar sensors to numerical weather prediction (NWP) and a host of high-end weather data. Baron solutions enable users in government, commercial, emergency response and broadcast television to benefit from the most accurate meteorological and hydrological data while streamlining operations and reducing costs. The company’s leadership in Doppler radar innovations has been spearheaded by its pioneering efforts in dual-polarization technology. In addition to a fleet of seven dual-polarization radar installations already operational in the United States, Baron has been selected in partnership with L-3 Enterprise IT Solutions (EITS) to upgrade the U.S. National Weather Service’s NEXRAD program with dual-polarization technology, allowing meteorologists to more precisely evaluate the effects of specific hydrometeors on their areas of responsibility.

Since 1971 the intelligent choice for Weather Radar has always been EEC, evidenced by more than 900 advanced Doppler and Dual Polarization radar systems deployed around the globe since then. Now, EEC and WSI Corporation have teamed as worldwide leaders in weather detection, forecasting and visualization. Together our mission is to provide next generation weather products to a diversified customer base that will enable our clients to anticipate severe weather earlier, and take action faster to mitigate the sometimes disastrous impact weather has on life and property. We continue to solidify our leadership position with dramatic technological advances in dual polarization radar delivering the highest definition data, and sensational display capabilities combined with simplified hardware designs all aimed at providing better insight into storms at more affordable prices. At EEC you will see stunning demos of our improved EDGE software as well as WSI’s dazzling on-air broadcast system displays integrated with the latest state of the art EEC radar hardware. Together EEC and WSI are moving beyond radar. Come and see WSI’s latest developments in global forecast modeling and lightning collection and dissemination targeting a broad customer base in aviation, media, energy and government opportunities.

Hach/OTT Hydromet is an industry leader in the development, service and support of hydrometric instrumentation for monitoring water quantity, water quality and meteorological parameters. OTT meteorological instruments combine innovative technology and superior sensor design to achieve high accuracy precipitation intensity measurements, drop size distributions, and spectrum analysis. The OTT Pluvio² weighing precipitation gauge and OTT Parsivel disdrometer provide valuable d to ground truth radars and calibrate models.

Recognized worldwide for its precision and performance, the OTT Pluvio² weighing precipitation gauge uses weight-based technology to measure frozen and liquid precipitation in all weather conditions. The OTT Pluvio² provides real-time accumulation and intensity measurements, multiple communication interfaces, and operates virtually free of maintenance. Collection capacity and orifice diameter options provide solutions for measuring precipitation in both urban and remote locations.

The OTT Parsivel is a modern, laser-based disdrometer used for the determination of drop size distribution and analysis of particle size spectrum. Optical detection of partial size and fall velocity provide raw inputs for the subsequent characterization of precipitation type and intensity. The OTT Parsivel applies the Gunn-Kinzer relationship for rainfall or the Locatelli and Hobbs curve for snowfall.
