Balloon-Borne Studies of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere Above Antarctica

该奖项支持对一系列南极气球飞行的电场和x射线数据的持续分析。从南极和日本的Syowa站进行了多次长时间的飞行，最近一次是在1992- 1993年期间，这些飞行携带了休斯顿大学小组的仪器。分析将集中在由气球测量到的磁层超低频波活动，以及与南极现有地面仪器的相关性。＊＊＊

Abstract 9318569 Bering This award supports the continuing analysis of electric field and x-ray data from a series of Antarctic balloon flights. There have been a number of long-duration flights from South Pole and from the Japanese's Syowa Station, the most recent during the 1992-93 season, which have carried instruments from the University of Houston group. The analysis will focus on magnetospheric ultra-low frequency wave activity, as measured from the balloons, and correlations with existing Antarctic ground based instruments. ***
