W-Band Scanning ARM Cloud Radar, 2nd Generation, CF/Radial formatted
Daily files containing radar reflectivity and mean Doppler velocity collected from vertically pointing W-band radar during the Macquarie Island Cloud & Radiation Experiment (MICRE): April 2016 to March 2017.
The instrument is a polarimetric W-Band simultaneous transmission simultaneous reception (STSR) Doppler Cloud Radar manufactured by Radiometer Physics GmbH (RPG, instrument type RPG-FMCW-94-DP). It was deployed about 500m away from the ARM M1 facility in Gothic (CO) near the Ore House between Nov 15, 2022 and Jun 5, 2023 at an altitude of 2913 m. The Doppler cloud radar was mounted on a prototype of a cold temperature scanner manufactured by RPG. The dataset contains common radar variables like equivalent radar reflectivity factor, mean Doppler velocity, Doppler spectrum width as well as common polarimetric radar variables like differential phase shift (PhiDP), specific differential phase shift (KDP), correlation coefficient (RHV) and differential reflectivity (ZDR). Between Nov 15, 2022, and Feb 7, 2023 the radar was operated at 40° constant elevation and 151° azimuth (towards the KAZR at the AMF1). Between Feb 7 and Mar 15, 2023 the following scan cycle was repeated in 15min intervals: zenith pointing measurements, RHI scans from 0° to 90° and 90° to 0° elevation at 151° azimuth, constant elevation measurements at 40° elevation and 151° azimuth and PPI scans at 85° elevation for wind retrievals (one PPI per hour). Between Mar 15 18:18 UTC and Apr 8, 2023 11:04 UTC, the scanner was stuck at 72° elevation, which resulted in corrupted files for this period. For that period, the files containing data are uploaded but should be treated with care. Between Apr 8 and Apr 14, 2023 the scanning pattern described above was performed again. Afterwards, except for May 17 and May 18, 2023 where scanning patterns as described above were performed, measurements continued at 40° elevation and 151° azimuth until May 22, 2023 09:00 UTC. The scanning pattern was then started again, but without hourly PPI measurements until May 31, 2023. Between May 31 and Jun 5, 2023 solely zenith-pointing observations were performed. The data provided here are the RPG Level 1 (L1) files, Doppler spectra Level 0 (L0) files are available upon request.

As an alternative to the use of traveling wave tube amplifiers in spacecraft with long life mission requirements, a solid state S band amplifier was developed. A solid state amplifier with an output of 20 W at 2295 MHz, a dc/RF efficiency of 38%, and a gain of 27 dB was developed. The physical and electrical performance of the solid state amplifier are described.
