Abstract

The international collaborative experiment held during the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics and Paralympic winter games (ICE-POP 2018) is a large field campaign in which science instruments from across the world were brought together. This campaign aims to give a better understating of the dependence of precipitation on terrain features and improve the meteorological models for such complex terrain features such as in South Korea. The NASA dual-frequency, dual-polarization, Doppler radar (D3R) which operates in Ku and Ka frequency bands is a key instrument in this campaign for measurements of snow. This paper gives a overview of the deployment and performance of the D3R during the ICE-POP campaign and sample observations will be presented.
