Abstract

A cloud water resource detecting system and method, the system includes computing device, and Raman lidar, microwave radiometer, millimeter wave cloud radar, wind profile radar and Doppler wind lidar in communication connection with the computing device. The Raman lidar and the microwave radiometer are configured to obtain temperature and humidity data of a cloud system. The millimeter wave cloud radar and the microwave radiometer are configured to obtain cloud water content profiles. The wind profile radar is configured to obtain a horizontal wind speed of the cloud system. The Doppler wind lidar is configured to obtain the vertical motion speed of a cloud bottom. The computing device is configured to calculate the total amount of cloud water according to the temperature and humidity data of the cloud system, the cloud water content profiles, the horizontal wind speed of the cloud system and the vertical motion speed of the cloud bottom.
