The Lower Fuselage (LF) Radar is an airborne radar system that operates on the lower fuselage of the NOAA P-3 aircraft used by the Hurricane Research Division. It measures radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and other radar parameters to characterize tropical storms and precipitation. It operates at the 5370 MHz frequency and has a horizontal beamwidth of 1.1 degrees. The LF Radar has a maximum ambiguous range of 750 km and a pulse repetition frequency of 200 Hz.
