Paper Abstract
Global three-dimensional cloud distributions and their properties are important information to estimate the earth
radiation budget more precisely. The interactions between cloud particles and aerosols are also focused to improve
accuracies of climate model. In order to meet expectations of scientists developing climate models for global warming
problem, European and Japanese space agencies plan to launch a satellite called EarthCARE. The Cloud Profiling Radar
(CPR), which will be the first millimeter-wave Doppler radar in space, is installed on this satellite as one of main sensors
to observe clouds. This paper describes the latest design and development status of EarthCARE CPR.
