Radar Lattice Towers are engineered structures supporting Doppler weather radar systems (e.g., NEXRAD, C-band/S-band radars). These open-frame steel towers elevate radar domes (radomes) above terrain obstructions to maximize detection range and accuracy in monitoring precipitation, wind shear, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

Metric | Requirement | Rationale |
---|---|---|
Deflection Limit | < H/1000 (e.g., 80mm @ 80m) | Radar pointing accuracy |
Natural Frequency | > 0.5 Hz | Avoid wind-resonance vibrations |
Radar Horizon | 200–400 km | Maximize storm tracking range |
Maintenance Access | 360° platform every 20m | Safe radome/antenna servicing |
