Abstract

Prior to the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, a new digital receiver and arbitrary waveform generator, the Tomorrow.io ARENA 522, was integrated with the Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (IWRAP). IWRAP is a downward-pointing system of two Doppler radars that is routinely installed on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WP-3D Hurricane Hunter airplanes for hurricane and extratropical cyclone research. The primary research applications of IWRAP have been to observe ocean and atmospheric vector winds and their effects on the surrounding media. Sampling limitations due to a time-multiplexed switching system were overcome in this hurricane season using a frequency diversity technique, enabling full multi-beam sampling for improved atmospheric boundary layer observations.
