The prototypes of China's Ku- and Ka-band PR have been successfully manufactured, and the first airborne field campaign conducted. Measurement data obtained in the field campaign have been processed to validate the radar performance. Comparisons of the measured radar backscattering cross section between ADPR and TRMM PR over sea and precipitation data between airborne radar and ground-based weather...
This paper describes field campaign situations of first spaceborne rain radar in China, including related background introduction, instrument parameters, field campaign atmospheric condition and so on. What's more, based on the high precision Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model, this paper focused on the calculation of two main rain parameter relations (k−Ze and R − Ze relations) for Ka band. Then,...
A Dual-frequency rain radar is planned In FY3(02)-E satellite, which is planed to be launched in 2016. In present, A dual-frequency airborne radar (ADPR) was developed in China, Field campaigns were carried out from July to October in 2010. To validate the instruments performance, Radar data from different sources were collected during the field campaign, include TRMM-PR 2A21/2A25 data products, car-borne...
China's first airborne Ku/Ka-band precipitation radar field campaign was carried out in 2010. Valuable data were collected by experimental aviation and simultaneous observations. Primary results of Ku/Ka-band precipitation radar field campaign are presented. Satellite-airplane-ground data comparisons are carried out in detail to validate airborne radar's ability in precipitation measurement. Important...
In China, two precipitation measurement radars (PMR) have been developed and deployed on aircrafts to carry out field experiments since July 2010. As one important part, calibration experiments using the active radar calibrator (ARC) are conducted for the airborne PMRs. Then those radar parameters deduced from external calibration are used to preprocess radar measurements to obtain the effective radar...
