A simple insect removal algorithm for 35-GHz cloud radar measurements

Abstract

Abstract.One of the key parameters that must be included in the analysis of atmospheric constituents (gases and 11 particles) and clouds is the vertical structure of the atmosphere. Therefore high-resolution vertical profile 12 observations of the atmospheric targets are required for both theoretical and practical evaluation and as inputs to 13 increase accuracy of atmospheric models. Cloud radar reflectivity profiles can be an important measurement for the 14 investigation of cloud vertical structure in a resourceful way. However, extracting intended meteorological cloud 15 content from the overall measurement often demands an effective technique or algorithm that can reduce error and
