MU radar: New capabilities and system calibrations

The middle and upper atmosphere (MU) radar of Japan is a unique mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere type radar with an active phased array system. The MU radar has proved so reliable that continuous trouble-free operations over many days are possible. A brief description of new capabilities recently implemented and calibrations made to confirm the performance of the system are presented herein.
