The Tropical Ocean/Global Atmosphere (TOGA) C-band Radar is a ground-based radar that was developed for the TOGA COARE campaign. It is a C-band (5600-5650 MHz) Doppler radar that measures reflectivity, Doppler velocity, spectrum width, and other radar parameters to characterize precipitation. It is currently located at Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) and can be deployed for land or sea-based operations. The TOGA radar has a beam width of 1.55 degrees and a typical bin spacing of 150 meters.
