The boundary layer radar (BLR)-3 at Kototabang, Indonesia (0.203S, 100.320E, 865m MSL) has been operated at the frequency of 1357.5MHz with a peak transmitted power of 1.1 kW since December 25, 2003. The BLR-3 was originally developed in Sumitomo Electric Industries and Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH), Kyoto University, in order to measure the wind velocity in the atmospheric boundary layer. This instrument has a phased-array antenna in a cross shape with its length of 2.8 m, which consists of 192 patch antennas. The beam can be steered in five directions at high speed by controlling the phase of each patch antenna in order to observe the three components of wind velocity [Renggono et al., Ann. Geophys., 19, 889-897, 2001].
