Improved resolution atmospheric density measurements based on simulationsSimulated C band radar data of very structured atmospheric density profiles were analyzed using the standard HIROBIN program used with falling sphere data. Results show that HIROBIN can only resolve 2 km vertical waves up to 50 to 55 km, and 5 km waves up to 65 km. Above 65 km, only waves longer than 5 km can be resolved. Shorter filters can be used to improve vertical resolution, but it is concluded that HIROBIN can no longer be considered operational unless experienced personnel who fully understand the program are available for consultation.
