<p>A meteorological apparatus is disclosed. The meteorological apparatus comprises: a weather radar having a weather radar antenna; a wind profiler having a wind profiler antenna separate to the weather radar antenna; and a coupler collocating the weather radar antenna with the wind profiler antenna in a spatial relationship. Providing a coupling which locates the weather radar antenna next to the wind profiler antenna enables both antennas to be positioned with respect to each other to avoid interfering with each other. The coupling also enables the antennas to be positioned such that both are orientated optimally and enables both antennas to be moved together. In this way, synergistic data may be collected from a single location concurrently without causing interference between the two instruments, which reduces the number of observation sites required and reduces the cost and complexity of the supporting infrastructure.</p> |
