CEDAR: Equatorial Plasma Structures and Electrodynamics Using Scintillation Technique

MISETA（赤道热层航空学多仪器研究）是一个系统研究赤道地区电离层和热层特性的项目，特别是扩散-F、电离层不规则性和赤道电喷流。 这是克莱姆森大学、波士顿学院、达特茅斯学院和波士顿大学的联合项目。 研究人员将继续在秘鲁的吉卡马卡、安孔和阿雷基帕进行协调测量，使用各种仪器，包括相干和非相干散射雷达、数字探测器、间隔闪烁接收器、法布里-珀罗干涉仪和全天成像仪。 大多数仪器被设计为连续运行，但该研究还需要更密集的实验活动，其中临时部署更多仪器。 一项活动已作为上一奖项的一部分进行，并且还将开展另一项活动作为延续活动的一部分。 波士顿学院的作用是观察闪烁并对 F 区域发电机和扩散 F 的开始进行数值模拟研究。***

MISETA (Multi-Instrumented Studies of Equatorial Thermosphere Aeronomy) is a program to systematically study ionospheric and thermospheric properties in the equatorial regions, particularly spread-F, ionospheric irregularities, and the equatorial electrojet. It is a joint program involving Clemson University, Boston College, Dartmouth College, and Boston University. The investigators will continue to conduct coordinated measurements at Jicamarca, Ancon, and Arequipa, Peru, using a variety of instruments, including coherent and incoherent scatter radar, digisonde, spaced scintillation receiver, Fabry-Perot interferometer, and all-sky imager. Most of the instruments are designed to run continuously, but the study also requires more intensive experimental campaigns in which additional instruments are deployed on a temporary basis. One campaign has been conducted as part of the previous award, and one more campaign will be conducted as part of the continuation. The Boston College role is to observe scintillations and conduct numerical simulation studies of the F-region dynamo and the onset of spread-F.***
