Abstract

The operating range and all-weather capability of terahertz (λ=3 mm) and gigahertz (λ=9 mm, 3 cm, and 10 cm) radars are estimated for the climatic conditions of weather stations at Dikson, Moscow, Batumi, and Ashkhabad. Horizontal and oblique (25° and 45° to the horizontal) tracks are considered, taking into account the main types of clouds.
