Optical Studies at the Sondre Stromfjord Incoherent Scatter Radar Facility in Greenland

格陵兰岛Sondre Stromfjord非相干散射雷达 和相关的光学设施已经成为一个共同的 许多研究的重要设施：热层 动力学，成分变化，电动力学， 电离层和磁层之间的联系， 地冕围绕着地球，延伸到地球的许多半径。 这 （a）规定继续经营 光学仪器作为这个群体的一部分， 设施，B）升级一些仪器，以允许 更有效和密集的使用，以及c）调查 一些科学问题，独特的位置，这些 在这个高纬度地区的仪器。

The Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland Incoherent Scatter Radar and associated optical facilities have become collectively an important facility for many studies related to: thermospheric dynamics, composition changes, electrodynamics, the connection between the ionosphere and the magnetosphere and studies of the geocorona surrounding the earth out to many earth radii. This award is to a) provide for the continuation of the operation of the optical instrumentation as part of this community aeronomy facility, b) up-grade some of the instrumentation to allow for their more efficient and intensive use and c) investigate a number of scientific problems unique to the location of these instruments at this high latitude site.
