Definition
- The High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) is a dual-frequency (Ka- and Ku-band) conical scan system, configured with a nadir viewing antenna on the high-altitude (20 km) NASA ER-2 aircraft. The HIWRAP is able to measure line-of-sight and ocean surface winds at higher spatial and temporal resolution than obtained by current satellites and lower-altitude instrumented aircraft.
