9500108 Rutledge Colorado State University (CSU) has operated a National Facility, CHILL Radar, under a Cooperative Agreement (CA) with NSF for the past five years. This proposal is for a new five year renewal of the CA between NSF and CSU to continue operation of the CHILL Radar as a National Facility. The radar facility is used to support education and research activities, both at CSU and at other universities or research institutions supported by NSF. Under this renewal of the CA, additional upgrades will be completed for a dual-transmitter, dual receiver system which will provide the atmospheric community with a state-of-the-art, highly advanced surface based radar facility for cutting-edge polarimetric and Doppler research. The CHILL Facility will be one of the most advanced meteorological radars available for basic research and education. The facility will be directed by faculty from the Departments of Atmospheric Science and Electrical Engineering of CSU. A full time staff composed of a Facility Manager and Senior Engineer will operate and maintain the radar facility. The proposal offers technical improvements to the radar system, access to an advanced radar facility for the university research aommunity, an in-house research program, and integration of the facility into the atmospheric and electrical engineering educational activities.

9500108拉特利奇科罗拉多州立大学（CSU）在过去的五年里，根据与NSF的合作协议（CA），运营着一个国家设施，即CHILL雷达。 该提案是NSF和CSU之间的CA新的五年续约，以继续将CHILL雷达作为国家设施运行。 雷达设施用于支持教育和研究活动，无论是在CSU和其他大学或研究机构由NSF支持。 根据CA的更新，将完成双发射机，双接收机系统的额外升级，这将为大气界提供最先进的，高度先进的地面雷达设施，用于尖端的极化和多普勒研究。 CHILL设施将成为基础研究和教育领域最先进的气象雷达之一。 该设施将由CSU大气科学和电气工程系的教师指导。 由设施经理和高级工程师组成的全职工作人员将操作和维护雷达设施。 该提案对雷达系统进行了技术改进，为大学研究机构提供了先进的雷达设施，内部研究计划，并将该设施融入大气和电气工程教育活动。
