- What is ISO 19926-1- System performance and operation of weather radar about? ISO 19926 discusses weather radar. ISO 19926-1 is an international standard that provides for system performance and operation of weather radar. ISO 19926-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the system performance of ground-based weather radar systems measuring the atmosphere using frequencies between 2 GHz and 10 GHz. These systems are suitable for the area-wide detection of precipitation and other meteorological targets at different altitudes. ISO 19926-1 also describes ways to verify the different aspects of system performance, including infrastructure. ISO 19926-1 applies to linear polarization parabolic radar systems, dual-polarization, and single-polarization radars. Note 1: ISO 19926-1 does not apply to fan-beam radars [narrow in azimuth (AZ) and broad in elevation (EL)], including marine and aeronautical surveillance radars, which are used for but are not primarily designed for, weather applications.
