Submillimeter Wave Differential Absorption Radar for Water Vapor Sounding in the Martian Atmosphere
No abstract provided
Demonstration of a New Water Vapor Radar (Field Campaign Report)
The purpose of the project was to demonstrate and validate observations from a new differential absorption radar, which uses an active sounding approach to remotely measure water vapor within clouds and precipitation. The instrument, the vapor in-cloud profiling radar (VIPR), is the first radar of its kind using a differential absorption technique to profile water vapor. The demonstration and validation of these data is essential to proving the utility of these observations in combination with the standard remote-sensing approaches employed at SGP. This initial effort is an essential element to facility the incorporation of the VIPR radar or its derivatives in future focused efforts to understand the role of water vapor in shaping the convective environment.
