|Number of Operators|1-2|1-2|||1|0||1|1|
|Instrument Operation
| No operation below 6 km possible
| Operation between 6 and 13.7 km
(lt 6 km saturation of the radar
receiver,gt 13.7 km no ground-echo)
||* only daylight Operation
* avoid solar elevation<15°
* operation time: 730-16 UTC
|* only daylight Operation
* as high above clouds as possible
* swath in 1.5km:
- 0.9 km (spec Macs)
- 2.1 km (2D cam)
* swath in 5km:
- 3.0 km (spec Macs)
- 7.0 km (2D cam)
|* Reduced accuracy during
dust and salt contamination
by high Aerosol load
during low Level flights
* Reduced data Quality
in precipitation and
clouds (water/ice in
pressure tube
||* no data 1.5 km below aircraft
* limited number if 16-18 range gates
(vert. res. 0.3/0.6/1.2 km)
* to be addapted to science obj.
