Confirmation and Extension of Magnetospheric Radar Observations at SURA This proposal is to initiate the first step toward realizing the transition of a powerful Soviet military facility to the peaceful study of the geospace environment, the domain of solar-terrestrial science. We envision that the results of this study will reinforce efforts towards a major long-range opportunity for joint US/Russia/Ukraine development of a magnetosheric radar facility. In addition, it seems possible that the same facility could be used as a powerful mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere (MST) facility. Strong evidence exists that Soviet researchers directly detected, through remote sensing with a magnetospheric radar, the origin of the auroral borealis. This region has only been penetrated before by a few satellites which, due to some intrinsic limitations of spacecraft, provide inadequate data in the key regions. We propose to test, and potentially confirm, this important new tool for ground-based access to the geospace enviroment.

磁层雷达的确认与推广 SURA的意见 该提案是实现这一目标的第一步 一个强大的苏联军事设施向和平的 地球空间环境研究，日地领域， 科学 我们预计，这项研究的结果将加强 努力争取一个重大的长期机会， 美国/俄罗斯/乌克兰开发磁层雷达设施。 此外，似乎可以使用相同的设施 作为一个强大的中间层-平流层-对流层（MST）设施。 有强有力的证据表明，苏联研究人员直接发现， 通过磁层雷达的遥感， 北极光 这个地区以前只被渗透过 一些卫星，由于一些固有的限制， 航天器提供的关键区域的数据不足。 我们提出 测试并可能确认这一重要的新工具， 地面进入地球空间环境。
