Abstract

The University of Massachusetts (UMass), Colorado State University (CSU) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) are collaborating to develop an advanced Multi-Frequency Radar (MFR) system for studying clouds and precipitation, which should become operational in 2004. This highly portable radar consists of three polarimetric Doppler subsystems operating at Ku-band (13.8 GHz), Ka-band (33 GHz) and W-band (95 GHz), a programmable scanning pedestal, and a unique single aperture antenna that generates co-located matched beams at each wavelength. This combination of wavelengths allows measurement of a wide range of atmospheric targets including weakly reflecting clouds and precipitation.
