Doppler Cloud Radar MIRA

The pulsed C- and Ka-band cloud radar systems MIRA-10 and MIRA-35 (formely named MIRA-36) are unique in performance and durability and deliver a calibrated Doppler spectrum of cloud droplets in up to 1024 height steps for a vertical range up to 15 km at a typical time resolution of 10 s. The wide dynamic range and the very high system sensitivity allow a tomography of cloud structures even in thin ice layer. Several antenna sizes can be installed stationary or in a trailer as mobile platforms. A comprehensive overview of cloud radar theory and worldwide installations can be found at Wikipedia.
