Yes. Operating a million watts with effective radiated power of 19.9 Gigawatts, MegaDoppler 13 is the most powerful radar available in the U.S. today. And due to the technical specifications to which Mega Doppler 13 was built, it is the most powerful radar in Houston. It’s 20 times stronger than the first generation of TV radars. It’s 4 times stronger than the second generation of TV radars, like our old Super Doppler 13. It’s even stronger than the National Weather Service NEXRAD which operates at 750,000 watts.
