Abstract 9616809 Mende This award provides support to continue to operate and analyze the data from an advanced dual-wavelength intensified CCD all sky camera at South Pole for the purpose of better understanding the aurora and Earth's magnetosphere. The camera is substantially identical to those which the proposer has installed in the Automatic Geophysical Observatory (AGO) array which is being deployed over a very large area of the very high magnetic latitude portion of the East Antarctic ice sheet. The South Pole instrument is an important component of the overall coverage of the Antarctic upper atmosphere. The nearly complete coverage of the magnetic polar cap afforded by the AGO- South Pole system of imagers is especially valuable now because it complements the imaging capabilities of the recently launched POLAR satellite of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program (ISTP). ***

摘要9616809门德该奖项为继续运行和分析南极先进的双波长增强型ccd全天相机的数据提供了支持，目的是更好地了解极光和地球磁层。该相机与提议安装在自动地球物理观测站(AGO)阵列中的相机基本相同，该阵列正部署在东南极冰盖极高磁纬度部分的一大片区域上。南极仪器是覆盖南极高层大气的一个重要组成部分。由AGO-南极成像仪系统提供的对磁极帽的几乎完全覆盖现在特别有价值，因为它补充了国际日地物理计划(ISTP)最近发射的极地卫星的成像能力。***
