本文讨论了多普勒风廓线雷达技术在热带大气研究中的应用。在热带地区使用风廓线仪的例子来自位于密克罗尼西亚波恩佩（7°N，158°E）和圣诞岛（2°N，157°W）的高层大气实验室的风廓线仪。波恩佩风廓线仪建于1984年，专门用于观测垂直运动。圣诞岛风廓线仪自1986年以来一直定期观测水平和垂直速度。这两台风廓线仪是计划中的跨太平洋风廓线雷达网络的一部分，该网络最终将覆盖热带太平洋。
This paper is concerned with the application of wind-profiling Doppler radar technology to tropical atmospheric research. Examples of the use of wind profilers in the tropics are drawn from the Aeronomy Laboratory's wind profilers located on Pohnpei, Micronesia (7°N, 158°E), and Christmas Island (2°N, 157°W). The Pohnpei wind profiler was constructed in 1984 and has been used exclusively to observe vertical motions. The Christmas Island wind profiler has observed horizontal and vertical velocities routinely since 1986. These two wind profilers form part of a planned trans-Pacific network of wind-profiling radars that will eventually span the tropical Pacific.
