Polar Experiment Network for Geophysical Upper-Atmosphere Investigations (PENGUIn)

摘要9529177罗森博格该项目是极地高层大气调查实验网络(企鹅)，支持南极自动地球物理观测站(AGO)网络中的大部分科学和仪器。AGOS是完全自主的天文台，只需要每年一次的服务访问，这些天文台位于东南极高原的战略地点。目前在外地部署了5个专家组，将在1996-97年南夏期间部署第六个。该科学设备旨在研究地球的电离层和磁层。目前的企鹅号仪器是：直流磁强计；朗讯技术公司(前身为AT&Amp；T Bell Labs)交流磁强计；日本的Kohoku大学和国家极地研究所；新汉普郡大学和奥格斯堡学院的甚低频无线电噪声接收器；斯坦福大学的成像里程计；马里兰大学的极光全天成像仪；加州大学伯克利分校的企鹅大学预计将对国际日地空间物理和国家空间气象计划做出重大贡献。***

Abstract 9529177 Rosenberg This Project, the Polar Experiment Network for Upper-atmosphere Investigations (PENGUIn), supports most of the science and instrumentation in the Automatic Geophysical Observatory (AGO) network in Antarctica. The AGOs are totally autonomous observatories, requiring only annual service visits, which are located at strategic spots on the East Antarctic Plateau. There are presently five AGOs in the field and a sixth will be deployed during the austral summer of 1996-97. The science equipment is directed toward the study of the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. The present PENGUIn instrumentation is: DC Magnetometer; Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T Bell Labs) AC Magnetometer; Kohoku U. and the National Institute of Polar Research in Japan; U. Of New Hampshire and Augsburg College VLF Radio Noise Receivers; Stanford U. Imaging Riometers; U. Of Maryland Auroral All-sky Imager; U. Of California, Berkeley PENGUIn is expected to be a major contributor to both the International Solar Terrestrial Space Physics and National Space Weather Programs. ***
