The main purpose of this radar is to determine cloud boundaries (e.g., cl oud bottoms and tops). This radar reports estimates for the first three spectra moments for each range gate up to 15 km. The 0th moment is reflectivity, the 1st moment is radial velocity, and the 2nd moment is spectral width. Also available are the raw spe ctra files. Unlike the millimeter wavelength cloud radar (MMCR), the WACR does not use pulse coding and operates in only copolarization and cross-polarization modes. wacr handbook is available at: http://www.arm.gov/publications/tech_reports/handbooks/wacr_handbook.pdf 20090514 20091201 Completed None 39.091 39.091 -28 -28 science keywords Atmospheric Radiation Measurement DOE ARM ARM ARM Observed Data Cloud Properties Cloud Properties macrophysical microphysical Mean Doppler Velocity Reflectivity Spectra Spectral Width Radar Doppler Radar reflectivity grwwacrspeccmaskxpolM1.a0 Instrument ARM W-Band (95 GHz) ARM Cloud Radar Place Keywords grw.M1: Graciosa Island, Azores, Portugal; Mobile Facility ,Graciosa Island, Azores, Portugal Nitin Bharadwaj nitin@pnnl.gov Mailing and Physical Address Richland WA 99352 USA N/A Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA ARM Archive User Services +1-865-241-4851 armarchive@ornl.gov url visualization Public image thumbnail Public Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program Data Sets. 1993-Ongoing.
