U.S.-Czech Research on Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Interaction

INT 9515523 Sibeck这个由约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室的David Sibeck博士和布拉格查尔斯大学的Jana Safrankova博士合作的美国-捷克研究项目，将研究太阳风质量、能量和动量通过磁层和电离层流动的过程。研究人员打算交换数据集，并利用从Interball卫星、其他航天器和地面同时获得的太阳风、磁鞘、磁层和电离层观测来进行相关研究。总体结果将在因特网上公布，预计将有助于我们理解：1)前震过程改变太阳风特征的方式；2)磁层顶运动的特征和原因；3)太阳风参数变化触发磁层亚暴的方式。这一高层大气研究联合项目通过使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在相互感兴趣和能力很强的领域汇集资源，从而实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。?？

INT 9515523 Sibeck This U.S.-Czech research project between Dr. David Sibeck of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and Dr. Jana Safrankova of Charles University, Prague, will examine the processes by which solar wind mass, energy, and momentum flow through the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The researchers intend to exchange data sets and correlate studies using simultaneous solar wind, magnetosheath, magnetospheric, and ionospheric observations taken from the Interball satellite, other space craft, and the ground. Overall results, which will be made available over the Internet, are expected to contribute to our understanding of: 1) the manner by which processes within the foreshock modify solar wind features; 2) the characteristics and causes of magnetopause motion; and 3) the means by which variations in solar wind parameters trigger magnetospheric substorms. This joint project in upper atmospheric research fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ??
