Radares meteorológicos de bajo costo para la detección de precipitación y desarrollo de operaciones aéreas en Colombia
TL;DR: In Colombia, se han desarrollado radares meteorologicos de bajo costo, que no solo brindan una información precisa y en tiempo real de los fenomenos atmosfericos, sino que son una excelente opcion for paises con relieves complejos, debido a que son de corto alcance as discussed by the authors.
