Bistatic radar for Weather Observation
Figure 1: Monostatic Doppler- Radar with bistatic receivers
There is a Bistatic Multi-Doppler Radar Network consisting of three bistatic receivers and the transmitting and additional receiving polarisation- Doppler Radar POLDIRAD around Oberpfaffenhofen used to monitor weather. Current research topics are the determination of 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional wind fields with 3 bistatic receivers. Furthermore, investigations on reducing errors in wind field measurements to use them as input data for mesoscale models are carried out.
