CEDAR: Early Polar Cap Observatory (ESU 93-13)

Polar Cap Observatory（PCO）是一个重要的观测站。 在理解太阳对地球的影响方面不断取得进展， 地球大气层的结构和动力学。 一个基本 成立私隐专员公署的第一步，是发展 位于加拿大西北地区Resolute Bay的基础设施， 在雷索卢特湾进行初步的科学调查 PI建议提供必要的基础设施来开始 早期PCO（EPCO） 其中包括一座建筑， 实验室空间，光学圆顶和生活区，沿着 道路建设和电力线路安装。 PI将 还提供一种空间接收器闪烁探测器， 电离层漂移监测器和频率捷变雷达， 初步科学调查。 这些调查将 重点关注极冠E场、等离子体结构、极冠极光 弧和极地中层回声。 此外，拟议的 基础设施将能够支持拟议的文书 其他研究人员可能会使用光谱仪， 干涉仪、光度计、磁力计、数字测高仪、测高仪、MF 雷达、ST雷达等。

The Polar Cap Observatory (PCO) is considered essential for continued progress in understanding the Sun's influence on the structure and dynamics of our planet's atmosphere. An essential first step to the establishment of the PCO is the development of infrastructure in Resolute Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada, and to conduct preliminary scientific investigations in Resolute Bay. The PIs propose to provide the necessary infrastructure to begin the Early PCO (EPCO) phase. This includes a building with laboratory space, optical domes and living quarters, along with road construction and installation of power lines. The PI will also provide a spaced-receiver scintillation detector and ionospheric drift monitor and a frequency-agile radar for preliminary scientific investigations. These investigations will focus on polar cap E fields, plasma structure, polar cap auroral arcs, and polar mesospheric echoes. In addition, the proposed infrastructure would be capable of supporting instruments proposed by other researchers that might include a spectrometer, interferometer, photometer, magnetometer, digisonde, riometer, MF radar, ST radar, and others.
