Current Events

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.

Website Improvements

Several new features added:

Projects list
Radar status page
Radar status indicator on front page
Quick-look Real-time images

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: 2 December 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.
