What Does TDWR Stand For?

TDWR stands for Terminal Doppler Weather Radar

Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) is a specialized radar system designed to provide high-resolution weather information in and around airports. It enhances the detection of precipitation, wind shear, and other hazardous weather conditions, allowing for improved safety and operational efficiency in aviation. TDWR systems offer real-time updates and advanced tracking capabilities for monitoring short-term weather phenomena, thus aiding air traffic control and supporting pilots in making informed decisions during critical flight operations.
