CEDAR: Multi-Instrument Studies of Equatorial Aeronomy (MISETA); Continuation of the Imaging Science Component

MISETA（多仪器研究赤道热层航空）是一个系统研究赤道地区电离层和热层特性的程序，特别是扩展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Jicamarca、Ancon和秘鲁的Arequipa进行协调测量，使用各种仪器，包括相干和非相干散射雷达、digisonde、间隔闪烁接收器、Fabry-Perot干涉仪和全天成像仪。大多数仪器被设计为连续运行，但这项研究还需要更密集的实验活动，在这些活动中，临时部署额外的仪器。一个活动已经作为前一个奖项的一部分进行了，另一个活动将作为延续的一部分进行。波士顿大学的任务是用全天成像光度计进行观测，并分析数据，研究赤道扩散F的来源。

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 University role is to make observations with an all-sky imaging photometer and analyze the data to study the sources of equatorial Spread F.
