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