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

该项目旨在在南极半岛乔治王岛的秘鲁南极基地建造、安装和运行单一甚高频（VHF）风廓线雷达。 类似的风廓线仪已在西赤道太平洋的其他偏远地区以及阿拉斯加的同等极地纬度地区成功运行。 该系统将提供对流层和平流层下层总风矢量的近乎连续的测量，并能够扩展以观测70公里至100公里高度区域的水平风。 该项目将与秘鲁南极计划合作开展。

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.
