CEDAR: Plasma Layers and Tides in the Lower Thermosphere

该项目将继续研究下降的潮汐层。 PI打算研究层的组成以及组成如何随着层的高度下降而变化。 这些层也应该是低热层主要潮汐模式的信息来源。 具体地说，他希望提出以下问题：（1）形成层所需的条件;（2）在下降过程中，金属离子如何以及何时进入一个层;（3）下降层的气候学表示与低热层潮汐理论相比如何。

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.***
