DESCRIPTION:Spaceborne radar for cloud and precipitation measurements\nS. L
 . Durden\nJet Propulsion Laboratory\, California Institute of Technology\n
 \nAbstract:\nRadar has been used to observe weather since weather targets 
 were inadvertently observed by military radars since the 1940s. Since then
 \, dedicated\, ground-based and airborne weather radars have been used to 
 provide information on various weather systems\, with applications to mete
 orological research and to operational weather warnings and aviation. More
  recently\, there have been several spaceborne weather radars that are ded
 icated to precipitation and cloud research. This presentation will touch o
 n the history of radar observations of weather and then focus on spaceborn
 e measurements. Along the way\, we will provide some tutorial information 
 on the design of these radars\, which operate near nadir and at relatively
  high frequencies\, generally different from ground-based weather radars. 
 Starting from scattering from precipitation and the weather radar equation
 \, the rationale for these choices will be discussed\, along with other hi
 gh-level design choices. Previous and ongoing spaceborne cloud and precipi
 tation radars will be discussed. We will then present some future needs an
 d possible concepts for addressing these needs.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Ramesh
