#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Roselectronics holding company has completed factory tests of a new weather and ice monitoring complex, which will provide detailed weather information for any requested area of the terrain, and will also provide data to sea vessels in the Arctic in the absence of communication with land. By the end of 2024, it is planned to complete the certification of the equipment and begin deliveries, the company reported.
The system was developed by the Television Research Institute, which is part of Roselectronics.
As stated in the official press release, the equipment is capable of receiving, processing and analyzing hydrometeorological and geophysical information coming from spacecraft, as well as calculating the surface temperature of land and sea, the height of the upper cloud boundary, the type and intensity of precipitation, as well as the moisture content of the soil. The system can be supplied in land and sea versions and is capable of operating in extreme conditions of the Arctic regions at ambient temperatures down to -60 °C and wind speeds up to 50 meters per second.
“The solutions used by Roselektronika engineers give the complex a number of advantages. For example, a request for meteorological information is possible not only within a region, but also by the coordinates of a separate area. This increases the accuracy of data in a difficult climatic situation. In addition, the complex’s antenna allows receiving information from satellites in two frequency ranges at once: centimeter and decimeter. That is, there is no need to build separate stations and invest in their maintenance. In the end, the equipment can ensure interaction not only with existing, but also with promising meteorological satellites”, the experts emphasized.
Earlier, we reported that scientists delivered building materials to Novaya Zemlya for the northernmost museum in the Arctic.
