Corrected Moments in Antenna Coordinates (CMAC) X-SAPR Technical Report
In 2010 the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility procured 3- and 5-cm wavelength radars for documenting the macrophysical, microphysical, and dynamical structure of precipitating systems. In order to maximize the scientific impact, the program supported the development of an application chain to correct for various phenomena in order to retrieve the “point” values of moments of the radar spectrum and polarimetric measurements. This report details the motivation, science, and progress to date as well as charting a path forward.
