9402764 Holzworth The objectives of this proposal are threefold: (1) to determine ionospheric convection patterns in polar cap, auroral zone and midlatitudes from stratospheric balloon-borne electrodynamic measurements; (2) to determine long and short term variability of global circuit; and (3) to evaluate the importance of stratospheric and tropospheric electric field sources to inferred ionospheric convection. The research will address problems at the foot-of-the-field lines for ISTP/GGS satellites. The balloon program's overall goal is to better understand the structure and dynamics of the magnetosphere. It will play an essential role in providing new data to the problem where neither satellites nor radars can provide the high time resolution, long duration and multiple simultaneous data points now available with the PIs data set. ***

9402764霍尔兹沃斯这项提议的目标有三个：(1)根据平流层气球携带的电动力学测量确定极帽、极光地带和中纬度地区的电离层对流模式；(2)确定全球电路的长期和短期变异性；(3)评估平流层和对流层电场对推断的电离层对流的重要性。这项研究将解决ISTP/GGS卫星场下线路的问题。气球计划的总体目标是更好地了解磁层的结构和动力学。它将在提供新数据方面发挥重要作用，因为在这个问题上，卫星和雷达都无法提供目前PIS数据集所提供的高时间分辨率、长持续时间和多个同时数据点。***
