9408136 Rickett This one year award supports U.S.-United Kingdom cooperative research on high solar winds with Andrew J. Lyne of the University of Manchester. The objective of their research is to conduct joint interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations of the solar wind when the European space probe ULYSSES passes above the Sun's south pole in summer 1994 and above its north pole in summer 1995. These observations will be part of an intensive world-wide campaign to observe the solar wind simultaneously at a wide range of distances and latitudes so that temporal evolution can be distinguished from spatial structure. The project takes advantage of the complementary expertise of the U.S. and British investigators in solar winds and radio astronomical observations, and provides access to the Merlin radio antenna array in the United Kingdom. This array is especially well configured for IPS measurements. The investigators will perform joint observations, data analysis and model fitting. Results and interpretation will involve other U.S. and European scientists. ***

9408136 Rickett 该奖项为期一年，支持与曼彻斯特大学的安德鲁·J·莱恩 (Andrew J. Lyne) 进行的美国-英国高太阳风合作研究。 他们研究的目的是，当欧洲太空探测器 ULYSSES 于 1994 年夏天经过太阳南极上空，并于 1995 年夏天经过太阳北极上空时，对太阳风进行联合行星际闪烁 (IPS) 观测。这些观测将成为在广泛的距离和纬度范围内同时观测太阳风的密集全球活动的一部分，以便能够区分时间演化和空间结构。 该项目利用了美国和英国研究人员在太阳风和射电天文观测方面的互补专业知识，并提供了对英国梅林无线电天线阵列的访问。 该阵列特别适合 IPS 测量。研究人员将进行联合观察、数据分析和模型拟合。 结果和解释将涉及其他美国和欧洲科学家。 ***
