CFL-16 Troposphere Wind Profiler Radar
The CFL-16 system is a Doppler,steerable beam, wind profiler radar ,with active solid-state phased array antenna, that reliably provides continuous and real-time vertical profiles of horizontal wind speed and direction, horizontal wind components, and
vertical velocity from 150m up to 12km 16km above ground level (agl) in unattended operation. When an optional Radio Acoustic
Sounding System (RASS) is added to the CFL-16 system, virtual temperature data is provided up to 3km~5km agl. The maximum altitude of valid measurements is dependent upon atmospheric conditions.
APPLICATIONS:
l Atmospheric boundary and tropospheric layer research
l Synoptic mesoscale analysis and forecasting
l Air pollution research
l Emergency response
l Global change research
l Aviation operations
l Vertical wind shear & turbulence
l Urban airshed modeling
l Weather modification
l Missile,rocket and artillery support
