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.
The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) combined with accurate navigation provides absolute current velocities which include information from all the frequencies which have a dynamical presence in the ocean.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)'s 'day-1' combined rada/radiometer algorithm uses a rain-profiling approach which gives as much importance to the measurement of the TRMM satellite's precipitation radar (PR) and the TRMM microwave imager (TMI) as their respective intrinsic ambiguities warrant, which avoids any ad hoc shortcuts that might introduce large biases in the rain estimates, yet which is simple enough to be operatrional with TRMM is launched in late 1997.
Using the total electron content data obtained by the Ulysses Solar Corona Experiment (SCE) during the first solar conjunction in summer 1991, two data sets were selected, one associated with a coronal hole and the other associated with coronal streamer crossings. In order to determine coronal streamer density profiles, the electron content of the tracking passes embedded in a coronal streamer were corrected for the contributions from coronal hole densities.
It is easy to understand heuristically why single-frequency spaceborne radar measurements, by themselves, are not sufficient to solve the inverse problem of retrieving an exact underlying rain-rate profile.
