A Study of Very High Latitude Geomagnetic Phenomena: Continued Support

9614175 Papitashvili该项目是一个联合美国的延续-俄罗斯在南极洲运行高纬度自动磁力仪阵列的方案。 这些仪器将用于研究地球磁层中的极冠电流系统。 南极洲是唯一适合这些调查的大陆，因为它是唯一的高纬度陆地，因此是磁力计阵列的理想和稳定的位置。 这些研究对于理解太阳风与磁层、电离层和高层大气之间的能量和动量耦合具有特别重要的意义。 这些数据还将证明对与目前正在进行或计划在不久的将来进行的一些卫星实验相协调的分析极为有用。 拟执行的具体任务包括改进东方和米尔内的数字地磁数据采集系统的设计，以及沿着俄罗斯通往东方的穿越路线继续运行和维护自主台站。 改进之一是在东方号上增加卫星数据传输能力，以便为空间气象和研究应用提供近实时的极冠磁性指数。 ***

9614175 Papitashvili This project is the continuation of a joint U.S.-Russian program to operate an array of high latitude automated magnetometers in Antarctica. These instruments will be used to investigate polar cap current systems in the Earth's magnetosphere. The antarctic continent is uniquely suited to these investigations because it is the only land mass at very high latitudes, and is therefore an excellent and stable location for an array of magnetometers. These investigations are particularly important to the understanding of the coupling of energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and upper atmosphere. The data will also prove extremely useful for analyses coordinated with a number of satellite-based experiments that are currently in progress, or are planned for the near future. The specific tasks to be undertaken include design improvements in the digital geomagnetic data acquisition systems at Vostok and Mirny, and the continued operation and maintenance of autonomous stations along the Russian traverse route to Vostok. One improvement will be to add a satellite data transmission capability at the Vostok so that a polar cap magnetic index will be available in near real-time for space weather and research applications. ***
