The ER-2 Doppler Radar (EDOP) is an X-band (9.6 GHz) Doppler radar nose-mounted in the ER-2. The instrument has two antennas: one nadir-pointing with pitch stabilization, and the other forward pointing. The general objectives of EDOP are the measurement of the vertical structure of precipitation and air motions in mesoscale precipitation systems and the development of space borne radar algorithms for precipitation estimation such as are used for the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM).
