High-Power HF Magnetospheric, Ionospheric, and Atmospheric Radar Facility

国际放射物理联合会正在启动远程设施，利用俄罗斯和乌克兰现有的和升级的高功率高频发射和接收系统。这项多国合作努力的目标是开发一种高功率高频反向散射雷达，设计用于近地磁层、中纬度电离层和中低层大气的独特观测。俄罗斯下诺夫哥罗德放射物理研究所（NIRFI）的工作人员已经完成了必要设施改造的初步设计和开发工作。本提案要求为探索性研究（SGER）提供小额赠款，以便立即开始建造所需的新发射天线，该天线将设在俄罗斯Vasilsursk现有的Sura HF设施（56.13oN,46.10oE）。极为重要的是，天线的建造工作必须在1993年夏天开始；否则，NIRFI的人员、设备和政府对这项工作的支持将被重新分配到其他活动中，而不能用于该项目的未来应用。＊＊＊

9318665 Duncan An International Radiophysics Consortium is initiating long-range facility, making use of existing and upgraded high-power HF transmitting and receiving systems in Russia and Ukraine. The goal of this multinational collaborative effort is to develop a high- power HF backscatter radar designed for unique observations of the near-earth magnetosphere, the mid-latitude ionosphere, and the middle and lower atmosphere. Preliminary design and development work for the necessary facility modifications has been completed by staff of the Radiophysical Research Institute (NIRFI) in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. The present proposal requests support for a Small Grant for Exploratory research (SGER) to permit the immediate commencement of construction of the required new transmitting antenna, to be located at the existing Sura HF facility in Vasilsursk, Russia (56.13oN,46.10oE). It is extremely critical that construction of the antenna begin in Summer, 1993; otherwise, NIRFI personnel, equipment, and government support for this effort will be reassigned to other activities and not be available for future application to this project. ***
