This grant, under the Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) Program, provides funds to analyze electric field data that has been collected in Antarctica, mostly at South Pole. The goal is to relate the electric fields to solar wind parameters, principally sector boundary crossings. The investigator believes that it is possible that if the sector boundary crossings have a large effect on the high latitude electric field, then that in turn, will effect the global electric field, which then may control the formation of clouds. That might provide a viable mechanism for the much sought "sun-weather" connection, a belief by many scientists that the variability of the sun is a driving force in the variability of Earth's weather. This is a very controversial and multi- disciplinary study.

根据探索性研究（SGER）计划的小赠款，这笔赠款提供了资金来分析南极（主要是在南极）收集的电场数据。 目的是将电场与太阳风参数（主要是部门边界交叉点）联系起来。 研究人员认为，如果扇区边界交叉对高纬度电场的影响很大，那么又可能会影响全球电场，然后可以控制云的形成。 这可能为广受欢迎的“阳光天气”联系提供了一种可行的机制，许多科学家认为太阳的可变性是地球天气变化的驱动力。 这是一项非常有争议的多学科研究。
