An advanced meteor radar, the Drake Antarctic Agile Meteor Radar (DrAAMeR), was installed by our team at the Brazilian Antarctic Base Cmd. Ferraz at 62.1oS on King George Island in March 2010 under NSF Grant OPP-0839084. Initial measurements contributed to several multi-radar studies addressing large-scale and small-scale dynamics, and several other papers partially prepared under previous NSF funding. Unfortunately, these measurements were terminated in late January 2012 when a fire destroyed Ferraz Base. However, our Brazilian colleagues at INPE have now rebuilt Ferraz, and power was restored in January 2014. Given the success of the Ferraz repairs, our Brazilian colleagues are now eager to also restore the various measurements in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) that were previously being made at Ferraz,including those with DrAAMeR.

我们的团队在巴西南极基地CMD安装了一个先进的流星雷达，即德雷克南极敏捷流星雷达（Draamer）。 Ferraz于2010年3月在国王乔治岛（King George Island）的62.1OS下，根据NSF Grant Opp-0839084。初步测量值促进了一些多数研究，以解决大规模和小规模动力学，以及在先前的NSF资金下部分准备的其他几篇论文。不幸的是，这些测量结果是在2012年1月下旬终止的，当时火灾摧毁了费拉斯基地。但是，我们位于INPE的巴西同事现在已经重建了费拉兹，并于2014年1月恢复了权力。鉴于费拉斯修复的成功，我们的巴西同事现在正渴望恢复中层中的各种测量，并降低热层（MLT）（MLT）以前在菲拉兹（Ferraz）中进行了包括DraaMareRaz，包括ferraz。
