DOW radar data evaluations: August 26, 2011

Coordinated dual-polarization data collection was done by the DOW 7 and CSU-CHILL radars during the conduct of a 20hr project.

REU 2011 students: July 14, 2011

REU2011 students participating in a radar calibration experiment.

Site photographs from the GXY traffic pattern: Dec 27, 2010

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: December 2, 2010

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

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

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

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

Participants in the Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes (CMMAP) program at CSU took a tour of the CSU-CHILL radar facility.
