SGER: Polarimetric Millimeter Wave Radar Observations of Tornadoes

马萨诸塞大学和俄克拉何马大学的微波遥感实验室将合作调查龙卷风。马萨诸塞州大学的研究生将在一辆追逐车上安装一个95 GHz的极化雷达，并在与俄克拉荷马大学气象学院的研究人员一起进行野外测量时操作该系统。这将提供一个获得龙卷风雷达反射率和风场的最佳空间分辨率的机会。极化毫米波雷达用于这一应用尚未经过测试，工程师和气象学家将联合进行研究。

The Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory of the University of Massachusetts and the University of Oklahoma will collaborate to investigate tornadoes. UMass graduate students will install a 95 GHz polarimetric radar in a chase van and operate the system during field measurements with researchers of the University of Oklahoma's School of Meteorology. This will present an opportunity to obtain the best spatial resolution of a tornado's radar reflectivity and wind fields ever achieved. The use of polarimetric millimeter wave radars for this application is untested, and engineers and meteorologists will research jointly.
