In Mach range of 0.25 - 0.69, boundary-layer measurements were made on upper wing surface at 25% semi-span, pressure-distribution measurements made on upper surface at 63% semi-span, and wake surveys made at 63% semi-span. The minimum profile-drag coefficient of 0.0062 was indicated for smooth section at 63% semi-span. Critical mach number was exceeded by 0.04, but no compressibility shocks appeared. In slipstream, boundary layer transition occurred as far back as 20% chord on upper surface at low lift coefficients.
The Cloud Profiling Radar, the primary science instrument of the CloudSat Mission, is a 94-GHz nadir-looking radar that measures the power backscattered by clouds as a function of distance from the radar.
In this paper, we develop and test a robust methodology to analyze wind-profiler data that can accurately quantify the 4-dimensional variability of the drop size distribution at resolutions comparable to those of the TRMM and GPM radars.
This paper presents the design and RF characterization of 94.1 GHz Cassegrain dual-reflector antenna for the proposed Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) instrument.
