Definition

  • The Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) is a 95Ghz, dual-channel, Doppler Radar designed for airborne use. The UW King Air installation of the WCR uses three antennas- one that can look either upward or horizontally (to the right of the aircraft) plus two downward--looking antennas (one at nadir; the second slanted ~30 degrees forward of nadir along the aircraft centerline).
