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. ***

摘要9529177 Rosenberg这个项目，极地实验网络高层大气调查（PENGUIn），支持大多数的科学和仪器在自动地球物理观测（AGO）网络在南极洲。AGO是完全自主的观测站，只需要每年进行一次服务访问，它们位于东南极高原的战略地点。 目前，本港共有五名助理政府人员在外地工作，而第六名助理政府人员将于一九九六至九七年度南半球夏季部署。 科学设备的目的是研究地球的电离层和磁层。 目前的PENGUIn仪器是：直流磁强计;朗讯科技（原AT T贝尔实验室）交流磁强计; Kohoku U。和日本国家极地研究所; 新罕布什尔州和奥格斯堡学院VLF无线电噪音接收器;斯坦福大学。 成像电阻计;马里兰州极光全天空成像仪;来自加州、伯克利 预计企鹅将成为国际日地空间物理学和国家空间气象方案的主要贡献者。 ***
