"Richly illustrated, and including both an extensive bibliography and index, this
indispensable guide brings together the theory, design, and applications of atmospheric
radar. It explains the basic thermodynamics and dynamics of the troposphere, stratosphere,
and mesosphere, and discusses the physical and engineering principles behind one of
the key tools used to study these regions - MST radars. Key topics covered include
antennas, signal propagation, and signal processing techniques. A wide range of practical
applications are discussed, including the use of atmospheric radar to study wind profiles,
tropospheric temperature, and gravity waves. A detailed overview of radar designs
provides a wealth of knowledge and tools, providing readers with a strong basis for
building their own instruments. This is an essential resource for graduate students
and researchers working in the areas of radar engineering, remote sensing, meteorology,
and atmospheric physics, as well as for practitioners in the radar industry"
