Abstract :
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Earth Observing Laboratory has recently developed a 449-MHz spaced antenna wind profiler radar. The system is divided into 18-element linearly polarized circular patch antenna subarrays that can be reconfigured. Three of the 18-element subarrays were combined and have been deployed to field projects such as the Persistent Cold-Air Pool Study (PCAPS).
