Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) New cloud profiling FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) Doppler radar named FALCON-A in W-band 95 GHz is developed and installed at the Arctic Station in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, Norway. FALCON-A consists of two 1m-diameter antennas and has high spatial resolution of 0.18 degree FWHM, which corresponds to 15m FWHM at the height of 5 km. A high range resolution of 48m is realized with the FMCW type radar, which is about several times higher than that of normal pulse type radar. Output power of FALCON-A is as small as 1W. Although its small output power, FALCON-A has enough sensitivities to observe thin clouds at high altitude up to 15 km and has high resolution in Doppler measurements. Using FALCON-A, we started regular observations in 2013 September at Ny-Alesund even in the winter days. Examples of observations with FALCON-A are presented.
