The CEDAR ( Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) program is very much concerned with multi-station campaigns for acquisition of data on the polar region atmosphere. The topic of this program involves the operation of an optical observatory at Thule, Greenland. The observations made with high sensitivity electronic imaging systems, Fabry-Perot interferometers and spectrometers will be used to study the optical emissions from the airglow and the aurora as applied to the understanding of plasma convection across the polar cap and the motion of the thermospheric neutral atmosphere.

大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学（CEDAR）项目非常关注极地大气数据采集的多站运动。这个项目的主题涉及到在格陵兰岛图勒的一个光学观测站的运作。利用高灵敏度电子成像系统、法布里-珀罗干涉仪和光谱仪进行的观测将用于研究气辉和极光的光学发射，并应用于了解穿越极帽的等离子体对流和热层中性大气的运动。
