昆明站中频雷达数据集

      A dataset from Kunming medium frequency radar

      • 摘要: 临近空间区域是重要的空域,但由于示踪物稀缺,观测数据获取困难,现有的观测数据十分稀少。中频雷达是一种可用于探测临近空间和低电离层的设备,由中国电波传播研究所云南昆明电磁波环境国家野外科学观测研究站(25.6°N, 103.7°E)运行。该雷达接收低电离层等离子体不均匀体的部分反射回波,利用全相位分析(FCA)方法和差分吸收实验(DAE)方法,反演60-100 km高度的大气水平风场和电子密度信息,以FCA和DAE两种数据类型存储。基于中频雷达数据集,研究人员可以开展我国西南地区(昆明站上空)临近空间大气风场及低电离层电子密度变化特征研究,探索中性大气和电离层的耦合作用及物理机制。该数据集也可以为高精度电离层数值预报模型提供支撑,服务电离层通信保障。

         

        Abstract: The near-space region is a crucial airspace domain, but due to the scarcity of tracers and difficulties in acquiring observational data, existing measurements are extremely limited. A medium-frequency (MF) radar system operated by the Yunnan Kunming Electromagnetic Environment National Observation and Research Station (25.6°N, 103.7°E) of the China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation serves as an instrument for detecting the near space region and lower ionosphere. This radar receives partial reflection echoes from lower ionospheric plasma irregularities, employing both Full Correlation Analysis (FCA) and Differential Absorption Experiment (DAE) methods to retrieve atmospheric horizontal wind fields and electron density information at 60–100 km altitudes, with both FCA and DAE data formats being stored. Based on this MF radar dataset, researchers can conduct studies on atmospheric wind field characteristics in near-space and electron density variations in the lower ionosphere over Southwest China (above Kunming station), exploring coupling effects and physical mechanisms between the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere. This dataset also supports high-precision ionospheric numerical prediction models, serving ionospheric communication assurance requirements.
