| 摘要: | 研究期間：10108~10207;Currently there are nine ground-based Doppler radars in Taiwan. However, due to the blockage of the radar beams by the complex terrain, the observations of the low level atmospheric structures are always insufficient. Furthermore, a lot of research has shown that a dual-polarmetric radar is capable of retrieving the drop size distribution, accurately estimating the rain fall rate, and classifying the hydrometeor types. Therefore, a dual-polarmetric radar is considered extremely useful in terms of studying the cloud physics as well as in the application of disaster mitigation. Since Oct. 1st, 2006, the National Science Council (NSC) has approved the funding to build the first mobile meteorological radar in Taiwan. The construction of this radar has been completed on March 31, 2008. It is named Taiwan Experimental Atmospheric Mobile – Radar (TEAM-R). TEAM-R moves to southern Taiwan on May 10, 2008 to participate the SoWMEX/TiMREX field experiment, held from May 15 to June 30. TEAM-R continues to conduct the second year of SoWMEX/TiMREX observational missions in Chiayi County in 2009. 2010 summer, TEAM-R had successfully observed the reorganizing process of Typhoon Fanapi, the results can clearly reveal the mechanism of the torrential rain in Gangsan area. TEAM-R also continously executed several site surveys for future potential radar locations for operation units. In addition, TEAM-R also provides scientific education service to the general public. The purpose of this project is to request a constant funding from NSC to support the following maintenance and operation of TEAM-R, Integrated Sounding System (ISS), 1 2-D video disdrometer, 3 JW disdrometers, 4 Microwave Rain Radars (MRR), and a C-POL radar. Basically these instruments can form an adaptive network to observe winds and precipitation. With the support from this so-called service platform project, the data collected by these instruments are required to be released and shared with the community users under a reasonable and fair mechanism. |
