Airborne rain mapping radar and preliminary observations during TOGA/COARE

Li, F. / Durden, S.L. / Im, E. / Tanner, A. / Ricketts, W. / Wilson, W. / Meneghini, R. / Iguchi, T. / Nakamura, K.

An Airborne Rain MApping Radar (ARMAR) has been developed by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for operation on the NASA DC-8 aircraft. ARMAR simulates the TRMM radar system by using the 13.8 GHz frequency and by looking downward and scanning its antenna in the cross-track direction. The capabilities of ARMAR also include: vertical rain profiling at multiple polarization, Doppler velocity profiling, and brightness temperature measurement. ARMAR participated in TOGA COARE in the tropical pacific during January and February of 1993. Various tropical rain systems were observed during this experiment.<>
