Current Events
Dual frequency feed horn arrives at CHILL: October 5, 2011
The new feed horn capable of simultaneous polarimetric operations at S and X-bands was delivered in early October. Test operations with this horn should begin in December, 2011.
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.
