Multi-Radar Studies of the Dynamics of the Antarctic Ionosphere

摘要9421266贝克这个项目使用高频相干后向散射雷达来研究极光来源的电离层结构，并确定导致雷达回波的磁层活动。现有的雷达位于加拿大拉布拉多的鹅湾和位于南极洲哈雷湾的英国南极考察站。这一对被称为极地英美共轭实验，它们的位置是这样的，它们的视场是磁性共轭的。一种名为南半球极光实验的新雷达将在南极洲的新南非萨那空间站建成后安装。虽然不是这个联盟的正式成员，但日本南极站Syowa的新雷达将提供补充数据。该项目是约翰·霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室、英国南极调查局和南非国家南极考察队的合资企业。日本国家极地研究所正在与PACE/SHARE合作密切合作。JHU/APL根据其在用于防御目的的超视距雷达方面的丰富经验，开发了用于极光研究的高频相干雷达。***

Abstract 9421266 Baker This project uses high-frequency coherent back-scatter radars to study ionospheric structures of auroral origin and to determine the magnetospheric activity responsible for the radar echoes. The existing radars are at Goose Bay, Labrador Canada and the British Antarctic Survey station at Halley Bay, Antarctica. This pair is called the Polar Anglo-American Conjugate Experiment, and they are so located that their fields of view are magnetically conjugate. A new radar, called the Southern Hemisphere Auroral Experiment will be installed at the new South African Sanae Station in Antarctica when it is built. Though not officially part of this consortium, the new radar at the Japanese Antarctic Station, Syowa, will contribute complementary data. The project is a joint venture of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, British Antarctic Survey and the South African National Antarctic Expedition. The Japanese National Institute of Polar Research is cooperating closely with the PACE/SHARE collaboration. JHU/APL developed the use of HF coherent radars for auroral research, based on their extensive experience with Over-The-Horizon radars, which are used for defense purposes. ***
