Operation of the Alaska-Canada High-Latitude Magnetometer Chain

支持地面仪器是磁层物理方案的一个重要目标。该项目是为了继续运作阿拉斯加-加拿大子午线磁力计和里程计。这些仪器是调查高纬度地磁现象的重要工具，也是阿拉斯加大学和空间物理界的遥感设施。这条链子紧跟着一条磁子午线，横跨极光椭圆形，一直延伸到极冠。来自子午链的数据被空间物理学界广泛使用，对扑克平板火箭靶场的一些卫星作业和火箭发射起到了重要诊断作用。*//

Support for Ground-based instruments is an important goal of the Magnetospheric Physics Program. This project is for the continuing operation of the Alaska-Canada meridian chain of magnetometers and riometers. These instruments are an essential tool for the investigation of high-latitude geomagnetic phenomena and as a remote sensing facility for the University of Alaska and the space physics community. The chain closely follows a magnetic meridian, spanning the auroral oval reaching into the polar cap. The data from the meridian chain has been widely used by the space physics community and has been an important diagnostic for a number of satellite operations and rocket launches from the Poker Flat Rocket Range. *** //
