Research
Radar meteorology
This research direction includes the development of methods and instruments for the investigation and monitoring of the atmosphere by means of radars. Novel approaches have been developed and implemented for the retrieval of characteristics clouds and precipitation [1, 2]. Efficient Ka-band meteorological radars intended for long-term unattended operation have been developed and produced [3, 4].
