摘要:A new X-band miniradar, the CURIE radar (Canopy Urban Research on
Interactions and Exchanges), mainly adapted to low Atmospheric Boundary
Layer sounding has been developed at CETP. After a brief description of the
opportunity and working conditions in a turbulent atmosphere, main
characteristics are presented. Though this radar works in presence of
precipitation as all X-band radar can do, this paper is more dedicated to clear
air used in the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. We are presented
comparisons with UHF observations and boundary layer information which can be
inferred from CURIE as entrainment across the inversion layer.
