Abstract
MeteoSwiss has recently renewed its weather radar network with an innovative state-of-the-art solution. The main reason for such renewal was the end-of-life of the existing radar systems. During both the acceptance tests and the current operational working time, carefully planned, innovative measurements have being performed on site using both a passive and an active calibrators.
