Multiple-Wavelength Doppler Radar Interferometric Studies of Clear Air and Thunderstorms

本研究的目的是测量选定雷暴中晴空运动场和雨滴光谱的演变。这些测量将使用波多黎各阿雷西博天文台的两台多普勒雷达，包括它们作为干涉仪使用。第三个雷达（915兆赫），一个便携式设备，将被借用，以确保云底下的风也可以被测量。

The objectives of this research are the measurement of the clear air field of motion and the evolution of the raindrop spectra in selected thunderstorms. These measurements will be made using two doppler radars at the Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico, including their use as an interferometer. A third radar (915 MHz), a portable device, will be borrowed to ensure that winds below the cloud base can also be measured.
