The objective of this research is the deployment and operation of three stratospheric.tropospheric (ST) radars in the tropical Pacific to make new measurements of convection, atmospheric waves, and turbulence. The radars will be constructed using components of the larger MST radar originally constructed at Poker Flat, Alaska. Additionally, three boundary layer profilers, recently developed by the Aeronomy Laboratory, will be deployed to measure the field of motion from the surface to near 10,000 feet.

本研究的目的是三个平流层的部署和运行。热带太平洋的对流层（ST）雷达进行对流、大气波和湍流的新测量。这些雷达将使用最初在阿拉斯加Poker Flat建造的大型MST雷达的组件。此外，航空实验室最近开发的三台边界层剖面仪将用于测量从地表到近1万英尺的运动场。
