Improved Weather Forecasts: Research on Radar Obstructions

This act aims to enhance weather forecast accuracy by researching how buildings and wind turbines affect weather radars. As a result, citizens can expect more precise warnings about storms and other weather phenomena, increasing their safety and enabling better daily planning.
Key points
A research program will be established to find ways to reduce weather radar interference from objects like wind turbines and buildings.
Collaboration with industry, academia, and government will accelerate the development of new technologies to improve weather data quality.
Better weather forecasts can help protect lives and property, and assist in planning activities dependent on atmospheric conditions.
