Polar Anglo-American Conjugate Experiment

这笔赠款用于数据的持续运作和分析 来自安装在美国的高频相干散射雷达 在哈雷湾站，南极洲根据以前的拨款。 雷达， 极地英美共轭实验（Polar Anglo-American Conjugate Experiment，简称PACE）的一部分， 磁共轭几乎相同的雷达操作在鹅 贝拉布拉多 鹅湾雷达的经费由 美国国家科学基金会大气科学部。 除了缀合物之外， 目标，雷达的视野，包括上述区域 南极站。 高频相干雷达可以探测和测量斑块的速度， 在高层大气中的过度电离，因此它们是 对研究极冠区的动力学非常有用。 步伐 雷达首次提供了研究 北方和北方电离层的同时行为 南极冰帽

This grant provides for the continuing operation and analysis of data from the high frequency (HF) coherent scatter radar that was installed at Halley Bay Station, Antarctica under a previous grant. The radar, part of the Polar Anglo-American Conjugate Experiment (PACE) is magnetically conjugate to a nearly identical radar operated at Goose Bay, Labrador. Funding is provided for the Goose Bay radar by the Atmospheric Science Division of NSF. In addition to the conjugate objective, the radar has a field of view that includes the region above South Pole Station. HF coherent radars can detect and measure the velocity of patches of excess ionization in the upper atmosphere, and as a consequence they are very useful for studying the dynamics of the polar cap region. The PACE radars are for the first time providing the means to study the simultaneous behavior of the ionosphere in both the northern and southern polar caps.
