The Ka-band ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR) is a ground-based Doppler radar operated by the Department of Energy (DoE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility. It is a 35 GHz, zenith-pointing radar that provides vertical profiles of clouds by measuring radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and spectrum width. KAZR has a beamwidth of 0.3 degrees, a maximum range of 15 kilometers, and a spatial resolution of 30 meters. KAZR is available at several DoE ARM sites and can be deployed for mobile observations.
