DESCRIPTION:The performance of the EarthCARE Cloud Profiling Radar in marin
 e stratiform clouds\n\nMarine stratiform clouds are a challenging target f
 or spaceborne radars due to their proximity to Earth’s surface\, limited v
 ertical extent\, and low radar reflectivity. The joint European Space Agen
 cy–Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (ESA–JAXA) Earth Clouds\, Aerosols a
 nd Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission is scheduled for launch in 2018 
 and features the first atmospheric Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) with Dopple
 r capability in space. Here\, the performance of the CPR in i) detecting t
 hese clouds and their boundaries\, and ii) measuring the Doppler velocity 
 of drizzle particles is evaluated. Observations from the Atmospheric Radia
 tion Measurements (ARM) Mobile Facility at the Azores and Marine ARM GPCI 
 Investigation of Clouds are used as input to a CPR simulator. The extensiv
 e ground-based observations are treated as the “truth” and are compared to
  the simulated EarthCARE CPR observations. The impact of the surface echo 
 return\, radar sensitivity\, range resolution\, and along-track integratio
 n are discussed.\n
