The transmission of information from traditional weather radars is regulated by Circular 44 as follows:
- Method: automatic transmission and manual transmission in case of malfunction;- Transmitted products: PPIZ (αQT) and RHI products;- Transmission address: as prescribed.
Additionally, Circular 44 also details the transmission of information from Doppler weather radars and polarimetric weather radars as follows:
- Method: automatic transmission and manual transmission in case of malfunction;- Transmitted products: volume scan and derivative products;- Transmission address: as prescribed.
The measurement units and permissible errors for weather radars are regulated as follows:
- Doppler wind velocity (Vr)- Measurement unit: m/s- Permissible error: ±1.0 m/s- Radar reflectivity (Z)- Measurement unit: dBZ- Permissible error: ±1.0 dBZ- Spectrum width (σv)- Measurement unit: m/s- Permissible error: ±1.0 m/s
For more related regulations, refer to Circular 44/2017/TT-BTNMT effective from December 08, 2017.
