The CSU-CHILL Radar Facility

该项目规定继续将CHILL雷达作为国家设施运行。该雷达可以对对流风暴的启动和演化进行尖端研究，并将加强对风暴微物理的科学理解。拟议的合作协议具体规定了拟议5年期间的管理、人员配置、测试、业务、技术升级以及教育和外联活动。该项目是大气科学系和工程系之间的一项跨学科活动，它作为主要的雷达遥感设施为广泛的研究社区服务。工程学和大气科学的结合为教职员工和学生提供了探索雷达气象学技术和科学课题的机会。在研究项目中，CHILL还提供高质量的实时双多普勒信息，以协调风暴穿透飞机在对流风暴中和周围的飞行。互联网的增强使用使任何机构的数据都可以实时访问，教职员工和学生可以从远程位置操作CHILL。该项目提供了影响深远的教育机会。

The project provides for continued operation of the CHILL radar as a national facility. The radar allows cutting edge research into convective storm initiation and evolution and will enhance scientific understanding of storm microphysics. The proposed cooperative agreement specifies the management, staffing, testing, operation, technical upgrades and educational and outreach activities for the proposed 5 year period. The project is an interdisciplinary activity between the Departments of Atmospheric Science and Engineering, and it serves the broad research community as a primary radar remote sensing facility. The combination of engineering and atmospheric sciences gives faculty and students the opportunity to explore technical and scientific topics in radar meteorology. In research projects CHILL also provides high quality, real-time dual doppler information to coordinate the flight of a storm penetration aircraft in and around convective storms.Enhanced use of the Internet allows real time access of data from any institution and faculty and students can operate the CHILL from remote locations. The project provide far-reaching educational opportunities.
