The PI proposes to continue coordinated studies of low latitude and equatorial thermospheric wind and plasma drifts using Fabry-Perot interferometer and incoherent scatter radar observations from Peru and Puerto Rico. The main goal of this project is the detailed understanding of equatorial and low latitude ionosphere-thermosphere coupling. The study of equatorial plasma drift and neutral winds has been carried out in collaboration with M. A. Biondi and J. W. Meriwether. The PI proposes to expand the low latitudes studies using extensive radar and optical measurements from the Arecibo Observatory. These studies will complement the PI's studies of the low latitude electrodynamics using incoherent scatter radar observations. The PI will continue to have the scientific support (at no cost) of M. A. Biondi, and also of J. W. Meriwether. The PI will also cooperate closely with the members of the MISETA project. The main topics of interest include the seasonal , solar and magnetic activity dependencies of the thermospheric winds, the relationship between the neutral winds and the plasma drifts as a function of latitude, the effects of the ionospheric disturbance dynamo, and the validation of thermospheric circulation models. The PI proposes to continue to analyze both the radar and optical data at Utah State University and to make the measurements available to the CAT (Coordinated Analysis of the Thermosphere) and for other coordinated CEDAR projects, and also to the NCAR database.

PI建议继续进行低水平的协调研究， 纬度和赤道热层风和等离子体漂移， 法布里-珀罗干涉仪与非相干散射雷达 从秘鲁和波多黎各的观察。 这个的主要目标 项目是详细了解赤道和低 纬度电离层-热层耦合 赤道的研究 等离子体漂移和中性风已经在 与M合作。A. Biondi和J. W.梅里韦瑟 的PI 建议利用广泛的雷达扩大低纬度研究 和阿雷西博天文台的光学测量。 这些 研究将补充PI对低纬度地区的研究， 使用非相干散射雷达观测的电动力学。 的 PI将继续获得M的科学支持（免费）。 A. Biondi，以及J.W.梅里韦瑟 PI还将 与MISETA项目的成员密切合作。 主要 感兴趣的主题包括季节，太阳和磁场 热层风的活动依赖性， 中性风和等离子体漂移之间的关系， 电离层扰动发电机的影响，以及 热层环流模式的验证。 的PI 建议继续分析雷达和光学数据， 犹他州州立大学，并使测量提供给 CAT（热层协调分析）和其他 协调CEDAR项目，也到NCAR数据库。
