An advanced meteor radar, the Drake Antarctic Agile Meteor Radar (DrAAMeR), was installed by our team at the Brazilian Antarctic Base Cmd. Ferraz at 62.1oS on King George Island in March 2010 under NSF Grant OPP-0839084. Initial measurements contributed to several multi-radar studies addressing large-scale and small-scale dynamics, and several other papers partially prepared under previous NSF funding. Unfortunately, these measurements were terminated in late January 2012 when a fire destroyed Ferraz Base. However, our Brazilian colleagues at INPE have now rebuilt Ferraz, and power was restored in January 2014. Given the success of the Ferraz repairs, our Brazilian colleagues are now eager to also restore the various measurements in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) that were previously being made at Ferraz,including those with DrAAMeR.

我们的团队在巴西南极基地Cmd安装了一台先进的流星雷达，德雷克南极敏捷流星雷达（DrAAmeR）。2010年3月，在NSF资助下，Ferraz在乔治王岛62.1 °。最初的测量有助于解决大尺度和小尺度动力学的几个多雷达研究，以及在以前的NSF资助下部分编写的其他几篇论文。不幸的是，这些测量在2012年1月下旬被终止，当时一场大火摧毁了Ferraz基地。然而，我们在INPE的巴西同事现在已经重建了Ferraz，并于2014年1月恢复供电。鉴于Ferraz修复的成功，我们的巴西同事现在渴望恢复以前在Ferraz进行的中间层和低热层（MLT）的各种测量，包括DrAAMeR的测量。
