A Proposal to Install a Wind Profiler Radar on the Peruvian Antarctic Base "Machu Picchu" on King George Island

该项目是在位于南极半岛乔治国王岛的秘鲁南极基地建造、安装和操作一个单一甚高频（VHF）风廓线雷达。类似的风廓线仪已经在西赤道太平洋的其他偏远地区和阿拉斯加的同等极地纬度成功运行。该系统将提供通过对流层和平流层低层的几乎连续的总风矢量测量，并能够扩展到从70公里到100公里高度的区域水平风观测。该项目将与秘鲁南极方案合作执行。

This project is an effort to construct, install and operate a monostotic Very High Frequency (VHF) wind profiling radar at the Peruvian Antarctic Base on King George Island in the Antarctic Peninsula. Similar wind profilers have operated successfully in other remote areas in the western equatorial Pacific, and in equivalent polar latitudes in Alaska. The system will provide nearly continuous measurement of the total wind vector through the troposphere and lower stratosphere, and is capable of expansion to make observations of the horizontal wind in the region from 70 km to 100 km altitude. The project will be carried out cooperatively with the Peruvian Antarctic program.
