Radar d'observation météorologique d'utilisation aisée localement et à distance. Juchée tout en haut de la Montagne des Pères, à quelques kilomètres de Kourou sur la route de Cayenne, la station météo du Centre Spatial Guyanais vient de se doter d'un nouveau radar plus performant, d'une portée de 400 kilomètres et capable de fournir au centre Météo-France de Cayenne-Rochambeau des données de précipitations toutes les 5 minutes. ROMUALD couvrira les zones habitées du littoral, de Saint-Laurent aux frontières du Brésil, tout en assurant pour le Centre Spatial Guyanais un rôle essentiel de prévision météo lors des lancements Ariane.
