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.

CSU-CHILL 雷达设施，PI Steve Rutledge，科罗拉多州立大学大气科学系，0735110摘要该项目将继续运行和维护 CHILL 雷达作为国家设施，以支持 NSF 资助的科学提案，主要用于水凝物分类、风暴系统演化和风暴微物理研究。 CHILL 将进行多项技术改进，包括在 X 波段添加第二个波长。 X 和 S 波段的组合能力将支持过冷雨和湿冰之间混合相区域的分配衰减。 改进后的系统将与 NSF 赞助的工程研究中心协作和自适应大气感知一起进行测试和评估。该项目还将与 NCAR S-POL 雷达设施合作开发一个综合性科罗拉多前沿雷达实验室，并将 CHILL 的技术创新与 S-POL 的可部署能力相结合。 合并后的活动将使两个设施更具成本效益和运营效率。 CHILL 将继续改进和扩展其 Virtual CHILL 教育推广计划。 该计划将“CHILL”带入全国任何机构的课堂。 该项目还将继续支持 REU 并赞助该设施支持的大气科学、电气工程和相关学科的 20 小时项目。
