Abstract :
It is shown that accurate 3D imaging of atmospheric reflectivity structures can be obtained using spatial and frequency diversity. The algorithms have been verified using simulated data where the structures are known. Preliminary data using angular imaging are presented which exemplify the power of the method for studies of small-scale atmospheric phenomena.
