NASA N-Pol radar: closer view

Dr. Brenda Dolan (research scientist in the CSU Atmospheric Science Department) took photographs from an aircraft in the traffic pattern at the Greeley-Weld County Airport (GXY). The CSU-CHILL radar and the temporarily-visiting NASA N-Pol radar are located on opposite sides of the main runway at GXY.

Radar calibration sphere flight: 2 December 2010

Balloon-borne calibration sphere

A light weight foil-covered sphere provides a target with a known backscattering cross section that is used as a reference during a radar calibration experiment.

N-Pol Radar Antenna Installation: Oct 21, 2010

Rigging for antenna lift
Lowering antenna onto pedestal

The new center-fed antenna was mounted on the N-Pol radar at GXY on 21 October 2010.

VCHILL Utilization at the ERAD conference in Romania: Sept 4, 2010

Live video from the CSU-CHILL site
Students examining example archive data cases

Prof. Chandrasekar included various VCHILL services as a part of a short course taught at the ERAD 2010 conference in Sibiu, Romania.

N-Pol Radar Site Survey: Jul 26, 2010

N-Pol at GXY

Mike Watson (L) and John Gerlach (R) gather soil strength data at a candidate operating site for the NASA N-Pol radar on the property of the Greeley- Weld County Airport.

CMMAP Interns Visit: Jun 25, 2010
