AN/APN-153 Doppler navigational radar for A-6 A-4 EA-6 A-7 C-130G E-2 P-3A S-2E AN/APN-158 Weather radar Rockwell Collins for HC-123B U-8F, U-21A and CV-2 AN/APN-161 improved AN/APN-59 navigational radar with high-resolution mapping capability incorporated by Sperry Corporation for C-130
Ships and planes are metal, and reflect radio waves. The radar measures the distance to the reflector by measuring the time of the round trip from emission of a pulse to reception, dividing this by two, and then multiplying by the speed of light. To be accepted, the received pulse has to lie within a period of time called the range gate. The ...
Remote sensing as we know it today started with the first earth orbiting satellite Landsat 1 in 1973. [10] Landsat 1 delivered the first multi-spectral images of features on land and coastal zones all over the world and already showed effectiveness in oceanography, [11] although not specifically designed for it.
Here the receiving instrument is on the surface of the Earth. In this technique the interference of the direct and reflected signals is used rather than a Delay Doppler Map or measuring the two signals separately. In the example shown, a GNSS antenna is ~2.5 meters above a planar surface. Both direct (blue) and reflected (red) GNSS signals are ...
NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 159 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the ...

The renewal of the network, from 2018 to 2023, with new S-Band radars brings these numbers respectively to 300 km (190 mi) for reflectivity and 240 km (150 mi) for full Doppler coverage. [2] Furthermore, the new radars are dual-polarized which means precipitation type can be estimated directly.
