A Study of Very High Latitude Geomagnetic Phenomena

9318766 Clauer该项目是一个联合美国-俄罗斯对太阳风和地球磁场相互作用产生的极冠电流结构进行调查的努力。 这些电流的综合效应可以用相对简单和坚固的磁力计在表面观察到。 俄罗斯南极方案在米尔内和东方之间的穿越路线上沿着运行着两个无人值守的远程磁力计，并在两个站点上运行着有人值守的仪器。 这些仪器的数据采集方式将由模拟转换为数字，现有的俄罗斯数据库，有些仪器可以追溯到1978年，将被数字化。 将结合辅助卫星数据和来自北方的共轭观测对数字化数据进行分析，以解释地球磁场不同方向产生的三维对流模式。 ***

9318766 Clauer This project is a joint U.S.-Russian effort to investigate the structure of electric polar cap currents produced through the interaction of the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field. The integrated effect of these currents can be observed at the surface with relatively simple and robust magnetometers. The Russian Antarctic Program operates two unattended remote magnetometers along the traverse route between Mirny and Vostok, as well as attended instruments at the two stations. The data acquisition mode of these instruments will be converted from analog to digital, and the existing Russian data base, going back to 1978 for some instruments, will be digitized. The digitized data will be analyzed in conjunction with supporting satellite data and conjugate observations from the northern hemisphere to interpret the three-dimensional convection patterns produced by various orientations of the Earth's magnetic field. ***
