The Radar is installed in Western Georgia, near Kutaisi and will be put into operation very soon. Radar allows, in a radius of about 250 km, to transmit data in operational mode on the types of clouds, their intensity, movement, direction, speed and other physical parameters.
The representatives of the Finnish company "VAISALA" has held trainings for meteorological radar maintenance services in Tbilisi and Kutaisi for the specialists of the National Environment Agency of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.
