Ground-based cloud radar measurements with JOYRAD-94 at AWIPEV, Ny-Ålesund (June 2016 - July 2017)
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 JOYRAD-94. Measurements were carr...
