ERUO: a spectral processing routine for the Micro Rain Radar PRO (MRR-PRO)
The Micro Rain Radar PRO (MRR-PRO) is a K-band Doppler weather radar, using frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals, developed by Metek Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH (Metek) as a successor to the MRR-2. Benefiting from four datasets collected during two field campaigns in Antarctica an...
