FRM4Radar

Cloud Profiling for Satellite Validation

The ESA-funded FRM4Radar project focuses on the development of calibration and validation products for satellite-based cloud profiling radars. The initial 94-GHz radar network makes it possible to explore different weather and cloud conditions present over continental Europe. Next, these measurements will create the base for the development of calibration and validation (Cal/Val) products of the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) on board the ESA Earth Cloud Aerosols and Radiation Explorer satellite (EarthCARE) satellite.
