CEDAR: Mesopause and Thermospheric Dynamics Studies Using an All-Sky Doppler Interferometer

这位研究人员提出了一项在米尔斯通山天文台使用法布里-珀罗涉仪进行高层大气动力学研究的计划，该干涉仪的形式是全天多普勒干涉仪。这项研究将提供大范围中性风场和温度场的快速测定。要研究的三个区域是上层热层、下层热层和中层顶。研究人员将通过系统测量季节和太阳周期的风场和温度场来确定每一颗行星的气候学。

The investigator proposes a program of upper atmospheric dynamics studies at Millstone Hill Observatory using a Fabry-Perot interferometer in the form of an all-sky Doppler interferometer instrument. The research will provide rapid determinations of neutral wind and temperature fields over a large regional area. The three regions to be studied are the upper thermosphere, lower thermosphere, and mesopause. The investigator will determine the climatology of each by systematic measurements of the wind and temperature fields over the seasons and solar cycle.
