J. S. Marshall Radar Observatory

It is one of the components of the McGill Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences department where students in remote sensing perform their research.

Following World War II, Marshall and R.H. Douglas formed the "Stormy Weather Group"[2] at McGill University and continued their work.

Different radars were used by the Stormy Weather Group to research the characteristics of precipitation at Dawson College, continuing the tradition of meteorology at McGill.

[3] The WMN radar completed 50 years of daily service to Canadians on September 30, 2018, but the Observatory will continue research at the same site with a range of instruments.

[4] A 10 cm wavelength Doppler and dual-polarization radar built in 1968 and used for weather surveillance around the Montreal, Quebec area.

It was replaced by a new S-Band radar, owned by the Meteorological Service of Canada and situated in Blainville, Quebec, on October 1, 2018.
