The VPF-750 is the flagship model of the VPF family, designed for AWOS installations, major airports and national meteorological networks that require advanced present weather capability. It consolidates visibility measurement with integrated precipitation sensing and temperature/humidity measurement, helping stations deliver richer automated reporting with fewer external components.
A proven forward-scatter architecture is combined with a backscatter receiver to enhance discrimination between liquid precipitation and multiple frozen precipitation types. When temperature information is available, the VPF-750 supports more detailed classification, including freezing precipitation, making it a strong choice for critical aviation operations and high-demand met networks.
The VPF-750 reports visibility as MOR and EXCO from 10 m to 99.99 km and is designed for smooth integration into automated systems. It also provides an extended present weather code set, supporting a broad range of WMO and METAR outputs (including significant past weather) and allowing thresholds to be aligned with national standards or adapted to local reporting practices.
