Operation of the Alaska-Canada High-Latitude Magnetometer Chain

该奖项将继续运作阿拉斯加-加拿大子午线磁强计和里程计，作为继续调查高纬度地磁现象的工具，并作为空间物理界的遥感设施。自1950年S以来，该链一直为研究提供几乎不间断的数据库。来自各个站点的数据近乎实时地返回给美国国家海洋和大气局空间环境实验室，供公众使用和分发。这些数据用于研究磁层过程，包括亚暴、对流模式、电离层电流、地磁脉动和极点。这些数据还被用来支持火箭和卫星实验，这些实验需要有关空间环境总体情况的信息。调查人员将继续运营该链，向数据中心提供数据，并对地磁过程进行科学研究。将购买Three Go无线电发射机，以便将数据从偏远地点实时传输到科罗拉多州博尔德市的空间环境中心。

This award will continue the operation of the Alaska-Canada meridian chain of magnetomers and riometers as a tool for the continued investigation of high latitude geomagnetic phenomena and as a remote sensing facilty for the space physics community. The chain has provided a virtually continuous data base for study since the 1950's. Data from the various sites are returned in near real time to the NOAA Space Environment Laboratory where it is available for public use and distribution. The data are used to study magnetospheric processes, including substorms, convection patterns, ionospheric currents, geomagnetic pulsations and the polar cusp. The data are also used to support rocket and satellite experiments that require information about the overall conditions in the space environment. The investigators will continue to operate the chain, provide data to the data center, and conduct scientific studies of geomagnetic processes. Three GOES radio transmitters will be purchased to allow real-time transmission of data from the remote sites to the Space Environment Center in Boulder, Colorado.
