The Airborne Cloud Radar (ACR) is an airborne W-band millimeter-wave cloud radar developed by the University of Massachusetts and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). ACR measures reflectivity and is used for profiling cloud vertical structures. It operates at a frequency of 95 GHz and has a beam width of 0.8 degrees. ACR has a range resolution of 38 m, 75 m, or 150 m.
