Abstract
The design of a sub-millimetre wave airborne demonstrator for the measurement of ice clouds and precipitation has been presented. Based upon the use of existing microwave instruments together with a new sub-millimetre wave instrument being developed by the UK Met Office, this new instrument suite will be used to verify the feasibility of the CIWSIR and GOMAS missions.
