Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005053
A parabolic antenna used in meteorology to focus and receive microwave signals, primarily from weather radars or satellite communication systems. Its curved shape concentrates incoming electromagnetic waves to a single focal point, enhancing signal strength. Large dish antennas are characteristic features of Doppler weather radar installations.
