Abstract :
The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NOAA NSSL) and the Advanced Radar Research Center at the University of Oklahoma (OU-ARRC) are presently involved in the design, development and construction of a cylindrical polarimetric phased array radar (CPPAR) to demonstrate polarimetric capabilities for weather sensing within the Multi-function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) project. In this paper we present preliminary system design of CPPAR.
