This project will continue studying descending tidal layers. The PI intends to study the composition of layers and how the composition changes as the layer descends in altitude. The layers should also be information sources on the dominant tidal modes of the lower thermosphere. Specifically, he wishes to question: (1) conditions required for formation of the layers, (2) how and when, during its descent, metallic ions enter a layer, and (3) how climatological representations of descending layers compare with the theory of tides in the lower thermosphere.***

该项目将继续研究下降潮汐层。 PI 打算研究各层的组成以及随着各层海拔的下降，组成如何变化。 这些层也应该是低热层主要潮汐模式的信息源。 具体来说，他希望提出以下问题：（1）形成层所需的条件，（2）金属离子在下降过程中如何以及何时进入层，以及（3）下降层的气候学表征与低层热层潮汐理论的比较如何。***
