Abstract

This paper is devoted to discussing peculiarities of W-band cloud radar calibration. After a brief overview of meteorological radar calibration methods for quantitative information retrieval, we focus on problems and their possible solutions with respect to mm-wave radar calibration. The experimental part of the research is based on multi-instrument measurements performed during several years in the Cabauw experimental meteorological site in the Netherlands. The accumulated data are used for comparison of 94 GHz radar rain measurements with non-radar droplet size distribution measurements, provided by laser disdrometers. Calculations are done taking into account data of other in situ meteorological measurements. A specialized MATLAB software tool for processing such complex data and radar calibration is developed and demonstrated.
