Current Events

Dual frequency Operations: January 2011

The Dual-frequency feed horn was installed on the CSU-CHILL antenna, and initial data collections were conducted to test the installation. Data from the X-band system is compared against the S-band system here.

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
