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

斯瓦尔巴特群岛的朗伊尔城天文台是 极地的光学实验 的观察结果 朗伊尔城预计将在CEDAR中发挥重要作用 倡议 然而，天文台本身很小， 太拥挤了 随着CEDAR科学活动越来越频繁， 有限空间的压力将进一步加剧。 该奖项有助于使用朗伊尔城天文台 在斯瓦尔巴特群岛的实验者。 特别是， 大约400平方英尺的额外空间， 将提供现有的天文台。 此外，委员会认为， 将安装变压器和浪涌保护装置， 为仪器提供调节后的120伏电源 访问美国科学家。

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.
