Popis: The work done by B. M. Courtier, A. Battaglia, and C. D. Westbrook was funded by the UK NERC project GRACES (G-band RAdar for Cloud and prEcipitation Studies, Grant No. RP16G1219). The instrument development work by D. A. Robertson, R. J. Wylde, H. Wang, G. Howells, B. N. Ellison, and P. G. Huggard was funded by the UK-CEOI project GRaCE. The work by K. Mroz was performed at the University of Leicester under Grant No. RP1890005 with the National Centre for Earth Observation. C. D. Westbrook's contribution was also supported by a Research Endowment Trust Fund award from the University of Reading. Operation of the Chilbolton Ka-band and W-band radars was funded as part of NERC National Capability. We would like to thank Karina McCusker and Emal Rumi for coordinating the collection of 35 and 94 GHz radar data as part of the NERC PICASSO project, Grant No. NE/P012426/1. The first Doppler spectra ever acquired by an atmospheric radar at 200 GHz (G-band) are presented. The observations were taken during a light precipitation event in May (rain rates
