Abstract

During the summer of 1998 three 95 GHz (W-band) radars were deployed by the University of Massachusetts (UMass), the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Ground-based systems from UMass and Penn State were located at the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program field site in northern Oklahoma. (The UMass system was later deployed in New Iberia, Louisiana). The third 95 GHz radar, jointly developed by UMass and NASA/JPL, was mounted in a nadir-pointing orientation on the NASA DC-8 research aircraft. Hardware details for the three radar systems are reported in [1], [2], and [3]. The experiment serves several purposes. First, it provides an opportunity to intercompare the calibrations of active research radars that are adding to the scientific archives of W-band radar observations. Second, simultaneous airborne and ground-based measurements are combined to measure precipitation attenuation.
