A Motion-Stabilized W-Band Radar for Shipboard Observations of Marine Boundary-Layer Clouds
2011
Boundary-layer Meteorology
Cloud radars at X, Ka and W-bands have been used in the past for ocean studies of clouds, but the lack of suitable stabilization has limited their usefulness in obtaining accurate measurements of the velocity ...
A 94 GHz (W-band) radar suitable for use on shipboard studies of clouds has been developed that is small and lightweight and can maintain the radar's beam pointing in the vertical to reduce the affects ...
The W-band radar does not use coherent pulse integration and therefore NCI = 1. ...
