Computing and Hardware Upgrades for Atmospheric Radar Research

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校 参与大气层和电离层的研究， 雷达技术很长一段时间 目前有一些 在其Urbana现场站进行的项目，以及 在秘鲁的希卡马卡使用非相干散射雷达， 将通过购置新的计算机和 雷达硬件该设备将用于数据 采集、处理和分析以及 操作控制的一个或其他各种可用的 雷达 这些升级将与可用的 平流层和中间层雷达与其他 重力波活动研究中的仪器 这个地区。 更多的研究将被导向中间 厄巴纳和希卡马卡的大气分层现象。

The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign has been involved in the study of the atmosphere and ionosphere using radar techniques for a long time. Currently there are a number of projects taking place at their Urbana Field station as well as in using the incoherent scatter radar in Jicamarca, Peru that would be enhanced through the acquisition of new computer and radar hardware. This equipment would be used for data acquisition, processing and analysis as well as in the operational control of one or the other of the various available radars. These upgrades will be used with the available Stratospheric and Mesospheric radars in conjunction with other instrumentation in studies of gravity wave activity throughout that region. Additional studies will be directed to middle atmospheric layering phenomena at both Urbana and Jicamarca.
