The Advanced Multi-Frequency Radar (AMFR) is a mobile, ground-based radar developed by the University of Massachusetts. It measures radar parameters to characterize clouds and precipitation. It operates across three frequency bands: Ku-band (13.4 GHz), Ka-band (35.6 GHz), and W-band (94.92 GHz). This allows AMFR to observe a wide range of targets, from thin clouds to strong precipitation events. AMFR has a range resolution ranging from 30-120 meters and a beam width of around 0.7 degrees.
