The millimeter wave dual-pol cloud-finding radar has a strong capability to detect small particles in 

meteorological detection. It is able to detect the targets from cloud particles of several microns in diameter to 

weak precipitation particles, penetrate clouds so as to describe the internal physical structure of clouds, 

monitor continuously the variation of vertical cross section of clouds, and make compensation for the 

insufficiency of other remote sensing measures. The cloud-finding radar can be used for continuous 

observation of radiative transfer of clouds in atmosphere to obtain important parameters, including the cloud 

thickness, cloud height, cloudage, cloud layers in macro, and the size, density, raindrop spectrum distribution, 

ice and liquid water content of cloud particles in micro.

The radar can be used to provide meteorological support for aircraft flight and necessary weather data 

for weather forecast, launch and flight of rockets, missiles and space crafts. It can also be used at weather 

departments, airports, seaports, scientific research academies for detection of cloud and near range 

precipitation.
