| Abstract | This NSF Mid-scale Research Infrastruture-1 project is for the development of two mobile cloud and weather radars, known as the Ka-band Rapid-scan Volumetric Imaging Radars (KaRVIR). Ka-band refers to the short, millimeter-scale wavelength of the radar transmissions, which are ideal for observing small particles in the atmosphere. A primary use case for the radars will be for the remote sensing of cloud processes including the development of precipitation. Existing cloud radars only point vertic |
