Aeronomical and Meterological Research at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory

该提案将继续目前由合作协议ATM-8714335支持的三年以上的工作。这项研究包括在位于秘鲁利马附近的Jicamarca无线电天文台进行雷达观测，将由康奈尔大学的科学家和学生、该天文台的常驻工作人员以及来自美国和其他国家其他机构的访问科学家和学生进行。这项合作协议为天文台提供主要的财政支持。研究的主题包括：(1)赤道F区和原层的能量学和动力学，(2)赤道E区和F区等离子体的不稳定性，(3)中间层和平流层动力学和能量传递过程，以及(4)地磁场的变化

This proposal will continue three more years of the work currently supported by Cooperative Agreement ATM-8714335. The research involves radar observations at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory, which is located near Lima, Peru, and will be conducted by Cornell scientists and students, resident staff members of the Observatory, and visiting scientists and students from other institutions in the United States and other countries. This Cooperative Agreement provides the main financial support for the Observatory. The topics to be investigated include: (1) the energetics and dynamics of the equatorial F region and protonosphere, (2) plasma instabilities in the equatorial E and F regions, (3) mesospheric and stratospheric dynamics and energy transfer processes, and (4) changes in the geomagnetic field.***//
