Summary

CPR is the first radar in space designed specifically to monitor how fast cloud and precipitation particles fall or rise within thunderstorm cores by analyzing their velocity profiles directly. This unique capability allows scientists to extract the complete profile of the cloud's extinction coefficient without needing to assume the specific scattering behaviors of its components. Complementing this data, ATLID utilizes a technique to independently measure the backscatter of both particles and air molecules. By processing this raw data, the instrument retrieves the critical atmospheric parameters, such as the cloud and aerosol extinction coefficient, which are essential for understanding the dynamic interactions between the atmosphere and cloud structures.
