Systematic Measurements on FINO2
In the frame of the BMBF project SOPRAN systematic measurements of the radar backscattering from the sea surface were carried out on FINO2 from summer 2011 thru autumn 2013. Installed was the platform version of U Hamburg's Multi³Scat, which allowed continuous radar backscatter measurements at five frequencies and four polarization combinations.
