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).

将部署一个雷达风廓线仪，以支持墨西哥城特大城市对区域和全球环境的影响研究。该项目作为探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款得到支持，因为它将满足对通常可以由NCAR综合探测系统提供的设施的迫切需求;然而，这些设施在此期间不可用。该项目涉及在现场项目期间在墨西哥维拉·克鲁兹修理、安装和操作风廓线仪。将收集数据，进行质量控制，并提供给科学界。特别是，气象预报模型将直接使用这些数据，这将为研究期间飞机的运行提供重要支持，MINUS研究将描述墨西哥城城市羽流对周围地区的潜在影响;这样做将大大增加我们对城市到区域和全球范围的化学和物理反应和动态的了解。该实地工作将与其他几个机构（美国能源部，国家航空航天局，墨西哥科学家和机构）的项目合并，隶属于MILAGRO（巨型城市倡议：地方和全球研究观测）。
