The project provides for continued operation of the CHILL radar as a national facility. The radar allows cutting edge research into convective storm initiation and evolution and will enhance scientific understanding of storm microphysics. The proposed cooperative agreement specifies the management, staffing, testing, operation, technical upgrades and educational and outreach activities for the proposed 5 year period. The project is an interdisciplinary activity between the Departments of Atmospheric Science and Engineering, and it serves the broad research community as a primary radar remote sensing facility. The combination of engineering and atmospheric sciences gives faculty and students the opportunity to explore technical and scientific topics in radar meteorology. In research projects CHILL also provides high quality, real-time dual doppler information to coordinate the flight of a storm penetration aircraft in and around convective storms.Enhanced use of the Internet allows real time access of data from any institution and faculty and students can operate the CHILL from remote locations. The project provide far-reaching educational opportunities.

该项目保证 CHILL 雷达作为国家设施的持续运行。 该雷达可以对对流风暴的产生和演化进行前沿研究，并将增强对风暴微物理的科学理解。 拟议的合作协议规定了拟议 5 年期间的管理、人员配置、测试、运营、技术升级以及教育和外展活动。 该项目是大气科学系和工程系之间的一项跨学科活动，作为主要雷达遥感设施为广大研究界服务。 工程与大气科学的结合为教师和学生提供了探索雷达气象学技术和科学主题的机会。 在研究项目中，CHILL 还提供高质量、实时双多普勒信息，以协调风暴穿透飞机在对流风暴中及其周围的飞行。互联网的增强使用允许实时访问来自任何机构的数据，教职员工和学生可以从远程位置操作 CHILL。 该项目提供了影响深远的教育机会。
