ON THE ACCURACY OF RADAR MEASURING THE ALTITUDE OF CLOUDS
Abstract
Results of comparative radar and aircraft observations of altitude boundaries of clouds are discussed. It was established, that with the aid of a radar station, developed at the TSAO, is possible a convenient for practical purposes altitude measurement of the upper boundaries of clouds with an accuracy of = 100 m. The practical advisability of the employing the radar method for measuring the altitude of lower cloud boundaries is explained. This is due to the masking of lower boundaries of radar images of clouds on account of large particles falling out from the clouds.
