Scientific paper

The middle atmosphere Alomar radar system (MAARSY) at the island of Andøya (69°N, 16°E) is an active phased array antenna with a peak power of 866 kW. The complete aperture results in an approximately 3.6° small beam width. The radar combines multi-channel recording and flexible beam steering capabilities to measure atmospheric winds in the troposphere and mesosphere with high temporal and spatial resolution. The advanced beam steering possibilities are used to conduct systematic scanning experiments. These experiments are suitable to perform velocity azimuth displays (VAD) at multiple off-zenith angles to derive the kinematic properties within the different scanning volumes. Our tropospheric and mesospheric experiments are analyzed using the VAD technique to derive additional information about the horizontal divergence, a mean wind field, as well as stretching and shearing deformation.
