The Lower Fuselage (LF) Radar is an airborne radar system mounted 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 5370 MHz with a horizontal beamwidth of 1.1 degrees. The LF Radar has a maximum unambiguous range of 750 km and a pulse repetition frequency of 200 Hz.
