The Conically-Scanning Two-look Airborne Radiometer (C-STAR) is
a passive microwave radiometer system on an airborne platform
that collects data at 37.1 GHz. Making use of a rotating
antenna, the C-STAR is able to produce images forward and aft of
the aircraft ground track. Data is collected in both horizontal
and vertical polarization for each of the forward and aft
images.
