It has Doppler and dual-polarisation capability. The radar measures the location and intensity of precipitation, radial winds and polarisation parameters. It works by transmitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation and measuring the amount of energy backscattered to the receiver. The time delay between the transmitted and received pulses enables the range of the object to be determined. In the case of precipitation, the magnitude of the backscattered signal is proportional to the size and number of raindrops. The radar also measures the radial velocity through the Doppler effect. In the absence of precipitation, the radar is sensitive to backscattering from insects, known as clear-air echoes, at close range. These signals provide information on the wind field and the organisation of the boundary-layer e.g. features such as convergence lines can be identified. In addition, the radar has dual-polarisation capability; it simultaneously transmits and receives horizontally- and vertically- polarised waves. Through this technique the radar measures a number of additional variables that provide information on the size and shape of precipitation, identification of non-meteorological echoes, attenuation (a decrease in the signal strength due to the absorption and scattering of the radar signal as it propagates through heavy rain), and alternative methods for calculating rainfall rates. \r\n\r\nThe system has a conventional parabolic antenna of 2.4m diameter and a beamwidth of 1 degree (in the horizontal and vertical), and is operated without a radome. The range resolution is tunable and dependent on the user-selected pulse width (0.5, 1 or 2 micro seconds) and pulse repetition frequency (PRF, 250-2000 Hz). The radar is fully transportable, being mounted on a trailer approved for EU roads that can be towed by a 4x4 vehicle. Signal analysis, data retrievals and data storage are performed by PCs contained within the trailer unit. The radar can be operated via a laptop that connects by wireless, ethernet or 3G to the onboard PCs. The operational software allows the user to set up the radar for deployment and schedule the scanning sequence. The software also provides real-time data visualisation and product generation.\r\n\r\nThe data frequency is dependant on the requirements for the instrument's deployment, but is typically of the order of 10 360-degree scans at various elevations every 5 minutes.\r\n\r\nParameters available in data files from this instrument include: \r\nDOP  - degree of polarization; \r\nKDP  - specific differential phase shift; \r\nPhiDP -  differential phase shift; \r\nRhoHV - co-polar cross correlation coefficient; \r\nSQI - signal quality index or normalized_coherent_power; \r\nV - radial velocity; \r\nW - spectral width; \r\nZDR - differential reflectivity; \r\ndBZ - reflectivity or equivalent reflectivity factor."},"relatedTo":{"ob_id":46210,"uuid":"7a6b3defe823488694626ed87b3f14a6","short_code":"acq","title":"Wessex Convection experiment - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST): NCAS Atmospheric Measurement Facility's (AMOF) mobile X-band radar 1 instrument deployed at MOD Lyneham","abstract":"Wessex Convection experiment - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST): NCAS Atmospheric Measurement Facility's (AMOF) mobile X-band radar 1 instrument deployed at MOD Lyneham."}}]},{"ob_id":46213,"uuid":"316d334ec6034426bbd85adfcf492003","short_code":"acq","title":"AQUABLE: NCAS Micro Rain Radar unit 1 instrument instrument deployed at Manchester Air Quality Supersite (MAQS)","abstract":"AQUABLE: NCAS Micro Rain Radar unit 1 instrument instrument deployed at Manchester Air Quality Supersite (MAQS).","imageDetails":[],"mobilePlatformOperation":[],"independentInstrument":[],"instrumentplatformpair_set":[{"ob_id":14832,"platform":{"ob_id":39467,"uuid":"a29500b101bc43f2988b58c88512c469","short_code":"plat","title":"Manchester Air Quality Supersite (MAQS)","abstract":"An urban air quality supersites in Manchester, UK equipped with a suite of permanent and visiting instruments to deliver comprehensive, continuous and long-term measurements of atmospheric composition.\r\n\r\nThe site has a WIGOS id: 0-20008-0-MCR.

Through a combination of long-term observations and tailored operations it provides national capability for the study of clouds, rainfall, boundary-layer processes and aerosols, and is particularly well suited as a site for hosting field campaigns involving visiting instruments.\r\n\r\nThe CAO site is located one mile south of Chilbolton Village, 6 miles south of Andover, Hampshire. The site was used as an airfield during the Second World War and is relatively flat and slightly elevated above the surrounding area.\r\n\r\nThe observatory operates more than twenty major instruments, many continuously, while others are available on-demand according to user configuration requirements. The portfolio includes a powerful combination of dual-polarisation Doppler radars, lidars, radiometers, and supporting instruments; the continuous round-the-clock operation of lidar and cloud radar instruments at Chilbolton is unique within the UK. These are supplemented by a suite of meteorological instrumentation including rain gauges, and disdrometers.  A multi-wavelength sun photometer provides continuous measurements of aerosol optical depth in clear skies, and contributes to the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET).\r\n\r\nThe Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa) is mounted on a 25-metre, fully steerable antenna, and is able to probe clouds and storms with unparalleled sensitivity and resolution. In addition, zenith-pointing polarimetric, Doppler 35 GHz and 94 GHz cloud radars are routinely operated for detailed microphysical studies of cloud processes and cloud climatology.  A transportable, scanning 35 GHz cloud radar system is also hosted at Chilbolton, further enhancing the available capability.\r\n\r\nChilbolton was one of the pilot cloud profiling sites for the CLOUDNET project, and continues to make observations that feed into the Aerosol Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS).
