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 profiles the vertical structure of clouds. It operates at 95 GHz with a beam width of 0.8 degrees. ACR has a range resolution of 38 m, 75 m, or 150 m.
