The tower with the new weather radar from Forschungszentrum Jülich on Sophienhöhe rises 34 meters into the sky. The system measures precipitation and wind much more precisely than most previous devices and will serve as an early warning system for floods and storms. The radar should also provide detailed data on the effects of climate change on local ecosystems.

A strong steel structure that does not bend to strong wind and weather.
