This proposal will undertake the continued operation of the Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies (MACCS) and the data reduction, archival and dissemination, and analysis of data from the array. The array is cooperatively operated by Boston University and Augsburg College (Engebretson, PI). The analysis of data will be undertaken in collaboration with various satellite and other ground based measurements to study processes which couple energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere and ionosphere. Particularly, investigations will focus on transients and waves at the magnetospheric boundary, magnetospheric convection, and the substorm process.

该提案将承担尖端和裂缝研究磁力计阵列（MACCS）的持续运行，以及阵列数据的数据减少，存档和传播以及分析。该阵列由波士顿大学和奥格斯堡学院（Engebretson， PI）合作操作。数据分析将与各种卫星和其他地面测量合作进行，以研究将来自太阳风的能量耦合到磁层和电离层的过程。特别是，研究将集中在磁层边界的瞬态和波，磁层对流和亚暴过程。
