U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Analysis of All-Sky Camera Data Acquired at South Pole Station using the ARSAD Image Processing System

小行星9314915 该奖项支持了弗兰克·T教授和美国科学家协会的一个为期两年的合作研究项目。 Berkey，犹他州州立大学大气和空间科学中心，以及日本东京国家极地研究所的Takeo Hirasawa教授和Takayuki Ono博士。 该项目的目的是获得关于在阿蒙森-斯科特南极站观测到的极光的空间范围和时间发展的定量信息。 要分析的数据是使用自1965年以来一直在南极站运行的基于胶片的全天空照相机系统获得的。 这些数据将使用国家知识产权研究所为分析日本南极基地获得的数据而开发的一个先进的全天空照相机图像处理系统进行处理。 该分析系统使用户能够在地球物理坐标框架中显示数据，并以单个摄影图像不可能的方式分析在短时间间隔或长时间间隔上采集的图像。 伯基博士负责南极站的全天计划，平泽博士和小野博士在极光研究方面有着丰富的经验，他们都在南极洲度过了不止一个冬季。 NIPR是一个国家实验室，负责在北极和南极地区进行研究。 ***

9314915 Berkey This awards supports a two-year cooperative research project between Professor Frank T. Berkey, Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences, Utah State University, and Professor Takeo Hirasawa and Dr. Takayuki Ono, National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan. The purpose of the project is to obtain quantitative information on the spatial extent and temporal development of auroras observed at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. The data to be analyzed have been acquired using a film-based all-sky camera system that has been operated at South Pole Station since 1965. The data are to be processed using a sophisticated all-sky camera image processing system developed at the NIPR for the analysis of data acquired at the Japanese Antarctic bases. The analysis system enables the user to display data in a geophysical coordinate framework and to analyze images acquired over short or long time intervals in a manner not possible with individual photographic images. Dr. Berkey has responsibility for the all-sky program at South Pole Station, and Dr. Hirasawa and Dr. Ono have had extensive experience in auroral studies, each having spent more than one winter season in Antarctica. NIPR is a national laboratory responsible for conducting research both in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. ***
