The ELDORA/ASTRAIA airborne Doppler weather radar: results from recent field tests

P.H. Hildebrand, C. Walther

Abstract

The ELDORA/ASTRAIA airborne Doppler weather radar was placed in service by US and French atmospheric sciences research laboratories. The ELDOR/ASTRAIA radar is designed to provide high resolution measurements of the air motion and rainfall characteristics of very large storms which are frequently too large or too remote to be adequately observed by ground-based radars. This paper discusses the measurement requirements and the design goals of the radar and presents sample measurements from a weather research field program.
