This two-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in atmospheric science involves Cesar Valladares and Dwight Decker of Boston College and Denis Alcayde and his group at the Centre D'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements in Toulouse, France. The award provides travel and subsistence support to the U.S. investigators for trips to the United Kingdom and France. The objective of the research is to investigate the global characteristics of plasma structuring that develops in the polar cap and auroral oval. They will conduct joint analysis, interpretation, modeling of data collected by the incoherent scattering radars at Sondrestrom, Greenland, and EISCAT, Scandinavia. The project takes advantage of access to radar data from Scandinavia and of the complementary expertise of the U.S. and French investigators in modeling. The project advances understanding of plasma structure and irregularities in ionospheric density in the polar cap.

这两年的美国奖-法国在大气科学方面的合作研究涉及波士顿学院的塞萨尔瓦利亚达雷斯和德怀特德克尔以及法国图卢兹的空间研究中心的丹尼斯阿尔凯德及其小组。 该奖项为美国调查人员前往英国和法国提供旅行和生活补助。 研究的目的是调查等离子体结构的发展在极地帽和极光卵的全球特性。 他们将对格陵兰Sondrestrom和斯堪的纳维亚EISCAT的非相干散射雷达收集的数据进行联合分析，解释和建模。 该项目利用了来自斯堪的纳维亚半岛的雷达数据以及美国和法国调查人员在建模方面的互补专业知识。 该项目增进了对极冠等离子体结构和电离层密度不规则性的了解。
