SGER: Wind Profile Measurements in Support of the Megacity Impacts on Regional And Global Environments (MIRAGE) Study Experiment

将部署雷达风廓线仪，以支持墨西哥城的“超大城市对区域和全球环境的影响”（MIRAGE）研究。该项目作为探索性研究小额赠款（SGER）得到支持，因为它将满足对通常由NCAR综合探测系统提供的设施的迫切需求；然而，这些在这段时间内是不可用的。该项目包括在现场项目期间对墨西哥Vera Cruz的风廓线仪进行维修、安装和操作。数据将被收集、质量控制并提供给科学界。特别是，这些数据将直接用于气象预报模型，这将为研究期间飞机的操作提供至关重要的支持。MIRAGE研究将描述墨西哥城城市烟羽对周边地区的潜在影响；这样做将大大增加我们对城市到区域和全球尺度的化学和物理反应和动力学的理解。现场工作将与其他几个机构（美国能源部、美国国家航空航天局、墨西哥科学家和机构）的项目合并在MILAGRO（大城市倡议：地方和全球研究观察）的框架下。

A radar wind profiler will be deployed in support of the Megacity Impacts on Regional and Global Environments (MIRAGE) Mexico City study. This project is supported as a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) because it will fill an urgent need for a facility that normally could be provided by an NCAR Integrated Sounding System; however, those are not available during the time period. This project involves the repair, installation, and operation of a wind profiler at Vera Cruz, Mexico, during the field project. Data will be collected, quality controlled, and provided to the scientific community. In particular, the data will be used directly by meteorological forecasting models, which will provide crucial support for the operations of the aircraft during the study.The MIRAGE study will characterize the potential impacts of the Mexico City urban plume in the surrounding regions; doing so will substantially increase our understanding of chemical and physical reactions and dynamics on urban to regional and global scales. The field effort will be merged with projects of several other agencies (U.S. Department of Energy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Mexican scientists and agencies) under the umbrella organization MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations).
