Sažetak
In this paper the calibration of the University of Massachusetts Advanced Multi-Frequency Radar (AMFR) is discussed in detail. The calibration is performed primarily through the use of an internal calibration path, and is confirmed through cross-calibration with another calibrated radar. Additionally, the performance of AMFR during the 2007 Canadian CloudSat/CALIPSO Validation Project (C3VP) [1] is demonstrated with respect to calibration and instrument stability. It is shown that the calibration during the C3VP experiment was accurate to within 1.5dB when compared with a C-band weather radar operated by Environment Canada.
