CEDAR Optical Tomographic Imaging Facility (COTIF)

在这个提议中，PI为CEDAR社区定义了一种新的诊断能力，在这种能力中，二维结构可以在全天单色光谱图像的背景下获得。因此，雪松层析成像设备（COTIF）将在中间层到热层（80-600公里）的全高度域（由金属层到SAR弧线等发射特征定义）上为光学航空学带来第三维度。这项计划为期两年，由一组在光学诊断的设计、建造和科学产出方面经验丰富的研究人员组成。来自其他机构的科学团队成员就最终设计目标、现场测试问题和全面的场外活动使用提供建议和指导。自动化，远程科学访问和超级计算机的利用为雪松博士后和研究生提供了非凡的机会，在其第一个层析成像设施中进行培训。＊＊＊

The CEDAR Tomography Facility (COTIF) would thus bring, literally, the third dimension to optical aeronomy over the full altitude domain of mesosphere to thermosphere (80-600 km) defined by such emission features as metallic layers to SAR arcs. The proposed effort is for two years, using a team of researchers experienced in the design, construction and science yield of optical diagnostics. Science Team members from other institutions provide advice and guidance on final design goals, field test issues and full off-site campaign use. Automation, telescience access and super-computer utilization offer extraordinary opportunities for CEDAR post-doctoral and graduate student training in a first of its kind tomographic facility. ***
