What purpose does this "Multi-frequency" radar serve? Is it a weather radar for tracking thunderstorms or ? Reply

Reply to Misplaced Okie : I'm the engineer responsible for these radars, thanks for the question. These radars are for the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's (http://www.arm.gov) Climate Research Facility. These radars operate at frequencies higher than normal weather radars so that we can get more detailed 3D measurements of clouds. Understanding clouds and how they affect the radiation balance of the Earth is essential to understanding climate change. Reply
