相控阵雷达（PARs）是一种很有前途的观测技术，即将被广泛应用于气象界。par提供近乎即时的大气采样，具有灵活的波束形成，多功能，低操作和维护成本，并且没有机械惯性限制。与目前基于反射器的气象雷达相比，这些PAR功能具有变革性。将par整合到气象研究中有可能彻底改变我们观测大气的方式。在研究中采用par的速度将取决于许多因素，包括i)需要通过与科学和工程界进行有吸引力的对话，继续教育科学界了解par的全部技术能力和权衡；ii)需要宣传par在大气测量中可以克服的科学瓶颈的广度，以及现在可能使用par与其他测量系统相结合的新研究途径。前者是一篇关注PAR技术的配套文章的主题，而后者是本文的目标。
Phased array radars (PARs) are a promising observing technology, at the cusp of being available to the broader meteorological community. PARs offer near instantaneous sampling of the atmosphere with flexible beam forming, multi-functionality, low operational and maintenance costs, and without mechanical inertia limitations. These PAR features are transformative compared to those offered by our current reflector-based meteorological radars. The integration of PARs into meteorological research has the potential to revolutionize the way we observe the atmosphere. The rate of adoption of PARs in research will depend on many factors including i) the need to continue educating the scientific community on the full technical capabilities and trade-offs of PARs through an engaging dialogue with the science and engineering communities and ii) the need to communicate the breadth of scientific bottlenecks that PARs can overcome in atmospheric measurements and the new research avenues that are now possible using PARs in concert with other measurement systems. The former is the subject of a companion article that focuses on PAR technology while the latter is the objective here.
