What is TAMDAR?
TAMDAR (Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting) is a new, high-resolution atmospheric observing system. The TAMDAR system comprises a patented multi-function atmospheric sensor installed on commercial scheduled aircraft, a near real time satellite data communication system, and AirDat’s ground-based data processing and distribution systems. High-resolution continuous TAMDAR observations fill in the gaps in conventional atmospheric data to create more accurate weather forecasts.
