Ground based VHF radar for observations of the atmosphere(WSANE2007)

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Radar is used to make measurements of the dynamics and structure of the atmosphere by detecting irregularities in refractive index due to variations in humidity and temperature in the lower atmosphere (0-20 km), and due to variations due to fluctuations in electron density in the Mesosphere Lower Thermosphere (MLT) region of the upper atmosphere (50-110 km). Wind Profiling Radars operating in the lower VHF band have been used for about 25 years to investigate the Stratosphere Troposphere (ST) region, but only routinely in the last 15 years. Considerable development has occurred within the past decade and a number of rocket launch sites now utilize Wind Profiles for launch support. They are also becoming increasingly common for airport operations. Here we provide a very brief overview.
