CEDAR: Operation of High Latitude Optical Aeronomy Observatories in Support of CEDAR Program

位于斯瓦尔巴群岛的朗伊尔宾天文台是极地地区光学实验的中流砥柱。朗伊尔宾的观察结果预计将在雪松倡议中发挥重要作用。然而，天文台本身很小，已经人满为患。随着雪松科学运动变得更加频繁，对有限空间的压力将进一步加剧。该奖项旨在鼓励来访的实验者使用斯瓦尔巴特群岛的朗伊尔宾天文台。特别是，将为现有天文台提供约400平方英尺的急需额外空间。此外，还将安装变压器和电涌保护装置，为来访的美国科学家的仪器提供120伏的调节电力。

The Longyearbyen Observatory in Svalbard is a mainstay in optical experiments of the polar region. Observations from Longyearbyen are expected to play a major role in the CEDAR initiative. However, the observatory itself is small and already overcrowded. As the CEDAR science campaigns become more frequent pressure for the limited space will be further exacerbated. This award facilitates the use of the Longyearbyen Observatory in Svalbard by visiting experimenters. In particular, approximately 400 square feet of badly needed additional space to the existing observatory will be provided. Furthermore, transformers and surge protection devices will be installed to provide conditioned 120 volt power to the instruments of the visiting U.S. scientists.
