REU: Undergraduate Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research Laboratory

13名本科生将在密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室度过三个月的暑期，他们将在那里与教职员工一起研究气辉和大气科学、空间等离子体物理、彗星研究、行星大气、空气污染传输和激光雷达。学生与导师、项目中的其他本科生、毕业生和教职员工互动。他们获得了使用已经或将在太空飞行的仪器的实践经验，并正在对大气进行遥感测量。此外，他们还制造和校准这些系统的部件。他们将构建和使用解决解析表达式的软件包，以图像形式呈现太空飞行数据，并操纵大型数据库。

Thirteen undergraduates will spend three summer months at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan, where they work with faculty members researching airglow and atmospheric science, space plasma physics, cometary studies, planetary atmospheres, air pollution transport, and lidars. The students interact with mentors, other undergraduates in the program, graduates, and faculty. They gain hands-on experience working with instrumentation which has or will fly in space, and is making remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere. In addition, they fabricate and calibrate components of these systems. They will construct and work with software packages solving analytical expressions, present space flight data in image forms, and manipulate large data bases.
