A Proposed Study of Techniques for Vertical Wind Profiling Using Jicamarca at Low Power Levels

摘要/巴斯利9614700 我们建议使用秘鲁利马附近的Jicamarca无线电天文台来研究各种多接收器技术，可用于对流层和平流层下部的垂直风测量。 这些研究将使用一系列的子模块的JEMPARCA天线与一些接收器。 观测只需要低功率发射机和最少的动手操作。 我们将相互比较一些现有的（和一些新的）技术，以评估他们的优点和缺点垂直风测量。 Jicamarca观测将得到建模研究的补充。 我们预计，我们的研究结果最终可以作为改进传统风廓线技术的基础，以提供更好的垂直风测量。

Abstract/Balsley 9614700 We propose to use the Jicamarca Radio Observatory near Lima, Peru to examine a variety of multiple-receiver techniques that can be used for vertical wind measurements in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. These studies will use a series of sub-modules of the Jicarmarca antenna in conjunction with a number of receivers. The observations require only low-power transmitters and minimal hands-on operation. We will intercompare a number of existing (and some new) techniques in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses for vertical wind measurement. The Jicamarca observations will be complemented by modeling studies. We anticipate that our results could ultimately serve as a basis for improving conventional wind profiling techniques to provide improved vertical wind measurements.
