MAP is the international Mesoscale Alpine Programme, an observational and modelling study of atmospheric phenomena over the Alps in the region bordered by Italy, Switzerland, France and Austria. The S-Pol component of MAP was sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF).
This summary deals with use of NCAR's S-Pol radar, including periods of operation, status of data processing, summary information available, and issues concerning data quality.
An Abstract describing the S-Pol component of MAP is available from the University of Washington.
