  • Abstract
    IRCTR has built a new high resolution meteorological radar, IDRA, to observe the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and drizzle in an area surrounding the CESAR observatory in Cabauw (The Netherlands). The present paper discusses the system performance and signal processing implemented and provides an example of dataset obtained by the system.
