Zhongshan Station

ZHONGSHAN (69.38 S, 76.38 E)
The SuperDARN radar at Zhongshan is the first Chinese SuperDARN radar. It was built by Dr. Hongqiao Hu of the Polar Research Institute of China and saw first light in January, 2010. The control electronics are the Leicester design.
Notes:
Beam Separation Sign: Northern hemisphere radars count beam 0 as the westernmost beam, which is the leftmost beam. Historically southern hemisphere radars did the same westernmost, which is the rightmost beam, meaning the beam separation would be negative. However, when ZHO was setup, the leftmost beam is beam 0. Thus, the beam separation in the hdw.dat.zho file is positive.
