The University of North Dakota owns a 5-cm wavelength (C-Band) weather
radar. The original components of the UND radar were built by
Enterprise Electronics Corporation (model: Weather Surveillance Radar
- 1974 C-band: WSR-74C). It was acquired by the Department of Aviation
in 1974 for the purpose of weather modification research and
training. In 1993, the radar moved to the top of Clifford Hall at the
west end of the UND campus.  The radar has been operated in support of
the research and academic programs of the Department of Atmospheric
Sciences.
