CEDAR: Radar Investigations of Mesospheric and Lower Thermospheric Dynamics at Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland

PI希望安装和操作部分反射 漂移和一个流星雷达在三年内在桑德雷 格陵兰的斯托姆峡湾。 目标包括研究高纬度 在大约60至110公里的高度范围内的动态。 的 与克莱姆森大学和 科罗拉多大学将包括季节性的研究 潮汐振幅和相位变化，重力波 特征，气候学，通量，以及散射 产生部分反射的机制。

The PIs wish to install and operate a partial reflection drifts and a meteor radar over a three-year period at Sondre Stomfjord, Greenland. Goals include studying high-latitude dynamics in the height range from approximately 60 to 110 km. The cooperative research effort with Clemson University and the University of Colorado will include the study of seasonal variations in tidal amplitudes and phases, gravity wave characteristics, climatology, and fluxes, and the scattering mechanisms producing the partial reflections.
