Abstract
In this chapter, typical operational atmospheric radars such as MST (mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere), ST (stratosphere and troposphere), T (troposphere), and BL (boundary layer) radars are discussed. First, characteristics of typical atmospheric radars are shown. Subsequently, large-scale atmospheric radars in the world are shown. Then, wind profiler, lower troposphere radar, and their networks are described.

There were only several two-dimensional active phased array radars of 400-MHz band and 3-GHz band in the world put to practical use for military purpose by the first half of the 1980s. The MU radar may be called one of the first large-scale two-dimensional active phased array radar developed by the original technology.

Thirty-two radars of 404 MHz are located in central US, and three radars of 449 MHz are in Alaska. The frequency of 404 MHz is used for the salvage signal of the space satellite, thus it is discussed to shift the frequency to 409 MHz so as to avoid mutual interferences.
