这是一个奖项，以一个新的国家科学基金会的主要研究人员。 的 该奖项是为了研究一个全面的数据集， 非相干散射雷达和光学干涉仪， 研究全球热层环流的变化 从一个冬至（六月）到另一个冬至（十二月）。 这些变化 有 对温度季节变化的重要影响， 热层的组成。 私家侦探负责分析 作为NCAR的访问科学家， （国家） 大气研究中心）。 该奖项将使 继续他在洛厄尔大学的努力。 这 这项研究已经成为一种新哲学的展示案例， 开发模型和地球物理的迭代过程 理解手牵手 大部分工作都是由 通过 热层全球环流模式（TGCM） 努力，无论是在开发模型和理解 数据中的特征。这项持续的工作将研究选定的 活动间隔验证NCAR-TCGM模型，使用 温度和密度数据，分析TCGM模拟， 研究观测到的风、温度和密度特征 在选定的时期，并模拟的属性， 在特定的时间段内的热层。 7/11/89

This is an award to a new NSF principle investigator. The award is for the study of a comprehensive data set involving incoherent scatter radars and optical interferometers in order to investigate the changes in global thermospheric circulation from one solstice (June) to another (December). These changes have important implications for seasonal changes of temperature and composition of the thermosphere. The PI has led the analysis of the campaign activity as a Visiting Scientist at NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research). This award will allow the continuation of his effort at the University of Lowell. This study has become a show case for a new philosophy in the iterative process of developing models and geophysical understanding hand-in-hand. Much of the work has been driven by the TGCM (Thermosphere Global Circulation Model) modelling effort, both in developing the model and understanding the features in the data. This continued work will study selected campaign intervals to verify the NCAR-TCGM model using temperature and density data, analyze the TCGM simulations to investigate wind, temperature and density features observed during the selected periods, and simulate the properties of the thermosphere for a specific period. 7/11/89
