RainCube and its legacy for the next generation of spaceborne cloud and precipitation radars
The multidimensional challenge of observing cloud and precipitation processes from space has motivated and focused a number of technological developments in the last decade. They span from novel compact instrument architectures to modular millimeter wave phased array solutions. In this paper we summarize the main capabilities offered by three instruments from this new generation, and discuss how they affect formulation of future observing systems.

BNF C-band Scanning ARM Precipitation Radar 2nd Generation (CSAPR-2) Extracted Radar Columns and In-Situ Sensors (RadCLss)
Corrected Moments in Antenna Coordinates (CMAC) calculates quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) from empirical relationships based on equivalent radar reflectivity factor, specific differ- ential phase, and specific attenuation. To evaluate these empirical relationships, the Extracted Radar Columns and In-Situ Sensors (RADclss) product was developed. Utilizing Py-ART, RAD- clss extracts CMAC radar columns above various ARM and partner locations. These columns are then spatiotemporally synced with in-situ observations at the surface utilizing the Atmospheric data Community Toolkit (ACT; Theisen et al. 2025), allowing direct comparison of radar parameters with rain gauges and laser disdrometers for further investigation.

RainCube, a Ka-band Precipitation Radar in a 6U CubeSat
RainCube (Radar in a CubeSat) is a 6U CubeSat mission between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems (Tyvak). The objective of the mission is to develop, launch, and operate a 35.75 GHz nadirpointing precipitation profiling radar payload to validate a new architecture for Ka-band radars and an ultra-compact deployable Ka-band antenna design in the space environment. RainCube will also demonstrate the feasibility of a radar payload on a CubeSat platform. The radar payload is the evolution of two previous JPL research and development technologies – the miniaturized Ka-band atmospheric radar (miniKaAR) and the 0.5m diameter Ka-band parabolic deployable antenna (KaPDA). JPL has contracted Tyvak to develop the spacecraft bus, integrate the payload, and operate the spacecraft. RainCube is currently in integration and test with an expected ready-for-delivery in September 2017.

Recent Observations of Clouds and Precipitation by the Airborne Precipitation Radar 2nd Generation in Support of the GPM and ACE Missions
In this paper we illustrate the unique dataset collected during the Global Precipitation Measurement Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx, US/Canada Jan/Feb 2012). We will focus on the significance of these observations for the development of algorithms for GPM and ACE, with particular attention to classification and retrievals of frozen and mixed phase hydrometeors.
