Firstly, the calculation formula of the lowest detecting height of CINRAD/SA radar was educed, and then the application of negative angle mode in Changle Radar Station was introduced. Through analyzing different observing abilities for tropical cyclone detected at different elevation angles, we discussed the limitation of CINRAD/SA radar using negative angle mode, and finally proposed some suggestions on CINRAD/SA radar using nega- tive elevation angle mode to observe tropical cyclone.展开更多
文摘The study aimed to discuss the application of CINRAD/SA radar using negative elevation angle mode in observation of tropical cyclone. Firstly, the calculation formula of the lowest detecting height of CINRAD/SA radar was educed, and then the application of negative angle mode in Changle Radar Station was introduced. Through analyzing different observing abilities for tropical cyclone detected at different elevation angles, we discussed the limitation of CINRAD/SA radar using negative angle mode, and finally proposed some suggestions on CINRAD/SA radar using nega- tive elevation angle mode to observe tropical cyclone.
