Design and development status of the EarthCARE Cloud Profiling Radar

The Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) for the EarthCARE mission has been jointly developed by JAXA and NICT in Japan. The CPR is a millimeter-wave radar which has a large deployable antenna and its unique feature is vertical Doppler velocity measurement capability. The Engineering Model development and testing are now ongoing and the predicted performance will be verified after a series of tests. This paper will present the latest design and development status of the EarthCARE CPR.
