Remote Sensing of Precipitation and Electrification with a Dual-Polarization, Coherent, Wideband Radar System.

Abstract

The radar has been upgraded through improvements to the receiver and addition of an inexpensive PC-based Digital Signal Processing system to allow real-time processing and display of radar parameters. A Sun Microsystems SPARCstation was added to the system for processed data archive as well as post analysis. The radar system was shipped to Kennedy Space Center for electrification studies during the summer of 1991.
