Equipment to Construct an Integrated Radio-Acoustic Sounding System for the Turbulent Eddy Profiler

Abstract

This grant was awarded to the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MIRSL) under the DoD University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) and was intended for the purchase of equipment to integrate a Radio-Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) into the Turbulent Eddy Profiler, a volume-imaging 915 MHz radar wind profiler. In addition, monies to update components of the Cloud Profiling Radar System (CPRS), a millimeter-wave radar operated by UMass, were cost-share with University matching funds. MIRSL purchased an Aerovironment Model 3000 Doppler Sodar and necessary equipment to interface it to the TEP radar system for RASS use. All needed millimeter-wave components for the CPRS radar system were also purchased.
