Ground-based cloud radar measurements with MiRAC-A at AWIPEV, Ny-Ålesund (July 2017 - October 2018) ...
Cloud radars provide information on micro- and macrophysical properties of clouds and precipitation. Continuous zenith-pointing cloud radar observations were made with the 94 GHz (W-band) frequency modulated continuous wave Doppler radar (model RPG-FMCW-94-SP) named MiRAC-A. Measurements were carrie...
