Abstract
A brief overview of building the radar and satellite meteorology in Slovakia
over the period 1965–1990 and application of dispatching locators of PAR, SRE and RSR
types for studying the evolution of convective cells is given. Further, the conception and
implementation of a meteorological radar network in Slovakia, the algorithms for recognition
of clouds and phenomena related to the parameters of radioecho are reviewed. The
development of a new laser radar (LIDAR) and the application of a prototype meteorological
radar with the TESLA RM-3 controlled polarizer are described.
