Description

Southern Great Plains C-SAPR.
The Recovery Act has brought ARM four X-band scanning ARM precipitation radars (X-SAPRs), two C-band scanning ARM precipitation radars (C-SAPR), three X/Ka-band scanning ARM cloud radars (X/Ka-SACRs) , three Ka/W-band scanning ARM cloud radars (Ka/W-SACRs), and the replacement of the venerable MMCRs with the new Ka-band ARM zenith radars (KAZRs). In addition to these, we still field a zenith-pointing W-band ARM cloud radar (WACR) and scanning W-band cloud radar (SWACR) with the two ARM Mobile Facilities. We present the current status of the deployment of all of these radars.
