Abstract

Two surface-based C-band (5-cm) Doppler radars were deployed during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean - Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) from November 1992 through February 1993. The NASA TOGA radar and the MIT/CSU radar obtained continuous four-dimensional radar-reflectivity and Doppler-velocity observations in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) throughout the IOP. This article documents the different corrections made to the calibrations of both radars and the results of an intercomparison between the corrected reflectivities.
