Riometry in Antarctica and Conjugate Regions

摘要9505823 Rosenberg马里兰州大学将继续他们的研究高磁纬电离层和磁层使用银河无线电噪声吸收技术（riometry）。 几年前，他们开发了一种新的成像riometer（IRIS），可以研究日光和云层中的极光形态。 这些成像riometer目前正在加拿大的伊卡卢伊特、格陵兰的Sondemfjord、南极的麦克默多以及国家科学基金会在南极洲运作的所有六个自动地球物理观测站运行。 此外，他们还在伊卡卢伊特、麦克默多和南极使用宽光束测光仪，并在麦克默多和南极使用极光光度计。 他们还为英国哈雷湾站和澳大利亚戴维斯站提供了成像测距仪，这两个站都在南极洲，从而大大扩大了覆盖范围。 在接下来的几年里，他们还将为英国的一些AGO建造成像riometers系统。 这些仪器与其他研究人员在所有这些地点操作的其他一些仪器协同工作。 ***

Abstract 9505823 Rosenberg The University of Maryland will continue their studies of the high magnetic latitude ionosphere and magnetosphere using galactic radio noise absorption techniques (riometry). Several years ago, they developed a new imaging riometer (IRIS) which allows the study of auroral morphology during daylight and through clouds. These imaging riometers are now being operated at Iqaluit, Canada; Sondestromfjord, Greenland; South Pole, McMurdo and in all six of the Automatic Geophysical Observatories (AGO) operated by NSF in Antarctica. Additionally, they are operating broad beam riometers at Iqaluit, McMurdo and South Pole as well as auroral photometers at McMurdo and South Pole. They have also provided imaging riometers for the British Halley Bay and the Australian Davis stations, both in Antarctica, thus considerably extending coverage. In the next few years they will also build imaging riometers systems for some of the British AGOs. The instruments work synergistically with a number of other instruments which are operated at all of these sites by other investigators. ***
