Doppler radar operated at VHF band (50 MHz or 6-m wavelength) observes vertical profiles of vertical and horizontal winds by receiving turbulent echoes caused by fluctuations of refractive index, and hence is useful for observing wind motions both in and around clouds. Cloud profiling radar operated at millimeter-wavelength (about 3 mm or 8 mm) and laser radar (lidar) which lases for transmission are useful for observing vertical profiles of small-sized cloud particles with a diameter of less than several hundred micrometers. In this report, observational system of VHF Doppler radar, millimeter-wave cloud profiling radar, and lidar are described. |
