DCR IN CCRES

A Doppler Cloud Radar (denoted DCR) is an active remote sensing instrument operating in the  millimetre wavelength range and providing vertical profiles of reflectivity and Doppler velocity  of hydrometeors. The ACTRIS Cloud remote sensing network is composed of different types of DCRs:

  • Vertically pointing DCRs at 35 GHz 

  • Scanning DCRs at 35 GHz 

  • Vertically pointing DCRs at 94GHz 

  • Scanning DCRs at 94GHz
