Continuing Research Using the NOAA/CU Tropical Pacific Profiler Network

本研究的目的是利用位于秘鲁、圣诞岛、Phonpei和印度尼西亚Biak的四个现有VHF （50 MHz）雷达调查热带太平洋的运动场。研究的主题包括测量的垂直运动，边界层和大约20公里之间水平动量的垂直通量。这些测量结果将用于重力波、热对流和潮汐振荡的相关研究。这项研究是科罗拉多大学和美国国家海洋和大气管理局航空实验室的一项联合活动。

The objective of this research is the investigation of the field of motion in the tropical Pacific using four existing VHF (50 MHz) radars located in Peru, Christmas Island, Phonpei, and Biak, Indonesia. Topics for investigation include measured vertical motion, the vertical flux of horizontal momentum between the boundary layer and roughly 20 km. These measurements will be used in cognate studies of gravity waves, thermal convection and tidal oscillations. This research is a joint activity between the University of Colorado and NOAA's Aeronomy Laboratory.
