Community Workshop on Radar Technology; Boulder, Colorado; November 27-29, 2012

该奖项支持将于2012年11月27日至29日在科罗拉多州博尔德市举行的题为“社区雷达技术研讨会”的专题会议。这次会议的主要目标是召集来自大学、联邦机构和工业界的科学家，审查目前用于大气科学的雷达类型，并审查新出现的雷达技术。通过口头和海报演示以及分组会议，与会者将描述可用雷达技术解决的关键大气科学研究问题，并将确定未来的技术需求。该项目的更广泛影响包括评估目前和正在出现的雷达技术，并确定将其应用于科学问题和问题的优先事项。会议成果的摘要将发表在《美国气象学会公报》上，这将扩大研讨会的范围，包括数千名学生、研究人员和执业气象学家。

This award supports a specialty conference entitled "Community Workshop on Radar Technology" to be held from 27 to 29 November 2012 in Boulder, Colorado. The primary objective of this meeting is to bring together scientists from universities, federal agencies and industry to examine the types of radar currently in use in the atmospheric sciences and to review emerging radar technologies. Through oral and poster presentations and in breakout sessions, attendees will describe key atmospheric science research questions that can be addressed with radar technologies and will identify future technological needs. The broader impacts of this project include an assessment of the current and emerging radar technologies and establishing priorities for their application to scientific issues and questions. A summary of the meeting outcomes will be published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, which will broaden the reach of the workshop to include thousands of students, researchers and practicing meteorologists.
