This Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF) award is for support of the Colorado State University Sea-Going Polarimetric (SEA-POL) radar. SEA-POL is a unique community resource as the only advanced technology, community-requestable, sea-going radar facility. The radar can be used to address a wide range of maritime or land-based science topics that deal with precipitation. The radar will also be used as an educational and outreach tool, providing opportunities for students to interact with state-of-the-art instrumentation. Programs to enhance diversity in radar meteorology are also included.SEA-POL is a C-band, dual-polarimetric radar that is capable of being deployed at sea or on land. The radar is designed to be portable and rugged, with platform stabilization for oceanic environments, while still having high-quality polarimetric capabilities for all-purpose use. Through 2020, SEA-POL has been deployed in four research cruises on ships in the U.S. Academic Research Fleet (ARF) and is planned for an island-based deployment in the 2022 PRECIP campaign. This award will enhance the ability of the broader scientific community to use the radar through the AGS field campaign request process.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该社区工具和设施（CIF）奖是为了支持科罗拉多州立大学海上偏振（Sea-Pol）雷达。 Sea-Pol是一种独特的社区资源，是唯一的先进技术，可寻求社区的，海上雷达的设施。 雷达可用于解决有关降水的广泛海事或陆基科学主题。 雷达还将用作教育和外展工具，为学生提供与最先进的仪器互动的机会。 还包括增强雷达气象学多样性的程序。SEA-POL是一种C波段，双偏光雷达，能够在海上或陆地上部署。 雷达设计为便携式和坚固耐用的，具有针对海洋环境的平台稳定，同时仍然具有高质量的极化能力，可用于全能使用。 到2020年，SEA-POL已在美国学术研究车队（ARF）的船上进行了四次研究巡游，并计划在2022年爆炸式爆炸活动中进行基于岛屿的部署。 该奖项将增强更广泛的科学界通过AGS现场竞选申请流程使用雷达的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
