SGER: Polarimetric Millimeter Wave Radar Observations of Tornadoes

北京大学微波遥感实验室 马萨诸塞州和俄克拉荷马州大学将合作， 调查龙卷风 麻省大学研究生将安装一个95 GHz极化雷达在追逐货车和操作系统， 俄克拉荷马州大学的研究人员进行了实地测量， 气象学院。 这将提供一个机会， 龙卷风雷达反射率的最佳空间分辨率， 风场最大的成就 极化毫米波的应用 这种应用的雷达是未经测试的，工程师和 气象专家将共同研究。

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.
