1985～

 

4) Outline

The Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) started long-period continuous observations since June 2001 when it was inaugurated under close collaboration with LAPAN (National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia). The EAR, together with other radars and optical instruments, very much enhanced our studies of atmosphere dynamics in the Indonesian region that started in the mid 1980s. Since 2005 the EAR is operated as a facility for international collaborative studies. Scientists from Japan, Indonesia and other countries can participate in the program.

Coupling Processes in the Equatorial Atmosphere (CPEA) is a research project that was conducted for six years from the fiscal year 2001 as Scientific Research of Priority Areas of Grant-in-aid for Scientific Research sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. This project studies dynamical coupling processes in the equatorial atmosphere by conducting various observations in Indonesian equatorial region centered around the Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR). The CPEA Symposium was held at the end of the project period, and was very successful with 172 participants from 18 countries/areas.
