This grant provides the funds to continue to make measurements of airglow and aurora above South Pole Station, Antarctica. There are several instruments (Michelson interferometer, a scanning near- infrared photometer, a four-channel photometer and an Ebert-Fastie spectrophotometer) which produce infrared and visible spectral of several atmospheric species (oxygen, nitrogen and the hydroxyl radical). These measurements are used to deduce the mesospheric winds and temperature, planetary wave activity and the energy of the precipitating electrons which cause the aurora. This research is being done by undergraduate institution.

这笔赠款提供了继续对南极南极站上空的气辉和极光进行测量的资金。有几种仪器(迈克尔逊干涉仪、扫描近红外光度计、四通道光度计和Ebert-Fastie分光光度计)可以产生几种大气物种(氧、氮和羟基)的红外和可见光光谱。这些测量被用来推断引起极光的中间层风和温度、行星波活动和降水电子的能量。这项研究是由本科院校进行的。
