HIAPER Cloud Radar
The HIAPER cloud radar (HCR) is an airborne millimeter-wavelength radar that will serve the atmospheric science community by providing remote sensing capabilities to the NSF/NCAR G-V (HIAPER) aircraft. The radar is scheduled to be delivered in August of 2008.
EOL will use a phased approach to building the HCR. Phase A will consist of a pod mounted W-band Doppler radar. Additional phases are currently unfunded. Pulse compression and polarimetric capability are planned for phase B, and a second wavelength (Ka-band) is planned for phase C.
