Ramża, often called Ramżula, is the highest, 325 m above sea level, natural hill on the Rybnik Plateau, which stretches between the valleys of the Oder and the Vistula, in the south of the Silesian Voivodeship. The meteorological radar At the beginning of the 21st century, the forested Ramża embankment attracts the eye from even the distant surroundings of Silesia with its high tower on which the most modern meteorological radar in Poland has been installed. The radar on Ramża was placed in 1995. Its owner remains the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management in Warsaw. The radar is one of eight devices of this type, dispersed throughout the country, whose task is to warn against violent weather phenomena. It monitors an area within a radius of 200, 300 km by studying the amount of water in the air, so you can predict the intensity of precipitation. Meteor crash In 2010, the first device operating here, the Meteor 360AC, broke down. The repair costs turned out to be enormous, so it was decided to equip the tower in Ramja with new equipment. Currently, the meteorological monitoring of Silesia is provided by the Meteor 1600C radar with a Klystron transmitter, the most modern in Poland. The device allows to distinguish between types of precipitation (rain, snow, drizzle, hail) and forecast their intensity. A total of 8 meteorological radars are in operation in Poland. https://www.slaskie.travel/poi/2535/radar-meteorologiczny-na-gorze-ramza
