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.

研究人员提出了一项在磨石山天文台使用全天空多普勒干涉仪形式的法布里-珀罗干涉仪进行高层大气动力学研究的计划。 该研究将快速确定大面积区域的中性风场和温度场。 要研究的三个区域是热层上部、热层下部和中层顶。 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种气候的气候。
