The CSU-CHILL Radar Facility

科罗拉多州立大学大气科学系Pi Steve Rutledge，CSU-CHILL雷达设备，0735110摘要该项目将继续作为国家设施运行和维护CHILL雷达，以支持NSF资助的科学提案，主要用于研究水星分类、风暴系统的演变和风暴微物理研究。将对CHILL进行一些技术改进，包括在X波段增加第二个波长。X波段和S波段的组合能力将支持过冷雨和湿冰之间混合相区的分配衰减。改进后的系统将与美国国家科学基金会资助的大气协作和自适应传感工程研究中心一起进行测试和评估。该项目还将与美国国家航空航天局S油站雷达设施合作开发一个综合的科罗拉多前线雷达实验室，并将寒风中的技术创新与S油站的可部署能力相结合。合并后的活动将使这两个设施更具成本效益和业务效率。CHILL将继续改进和扩大其虚拟CHILL教育推广计划。这个项目给美国任何一所学校的教室带来了寒意。该项目还将继续支持REUS，并赞助设施支持的大气科学、电气工程和相关学科的20小时项目。

The CSU-CHILL Radar Facility, PI Steve Rutledge, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Colorado State University, 0735110AbstractThis project will continue the operation and maintenance of the CHILL radar as a national facility to support NSF funded science proposals, largely for the study of hydrometeor classification, evolution of storm systems and the study of storm microphysics. A number of technical improvements will be made to the CHILL, including the addition of a second wavelength at X-band. The combined X and S band capability will support the partitioning attenuation of mixed phase regions between supercooled rain and wet ice. The improved system will be tested and evaluated along with the Collaborative and Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere, which is a NSF sponsored Engineering Research Center.The project will also collaborate with the NCAR S-POL radar facility to develop a comprehensive Colorado Front Range radar laboratory, and couple the technical innovations at CHILL with the deployable capabilities of S-POL. The combined activity will make both facilities more cost-effective and operationally efficient. CHILL will continue to improve and expand its Virtual CHILL educational outreach program. This program brings CHILL into the classroom at any institution in the country. The project will also continue to support REUs and sponsor Facility-supported 20 hour projects in atmospheric science, electrical engineering and related disciplines.
