Meter to Kilometer Scale Turbulence in E-region Ionosphere

奥本海姆，meers首席研究员提议研究发生在E区域的米到公里尺度的湍流，以便回答关于大气中这一重要区域的电动力学的一些长期存在的问题。PI先前的研究通过动力学模拟、理论和观测数据的密切评估相结合，帮助进一步了解该地区的动力学。这项研究将导致对电喷射动力学更完整的描述，并解释一些长期困扰航空天文学家的测量结果。此外，它将提供机会，以培养一些学生，包括研究生和本科生，并在地球科学博士后研究员。

ATM-9986976Oppenheim, MeersThe principle investigator proposes to study the meter to kilometer scale turbulence that occurs in the E region in order to answer a number of longstanding questions about the electrodynamics of this important region of the atmosphere. Previous research by the PI has helped further understanding of the dynamics of this region through a combination of kinetic simulations, theory, and close evaluation of observational data. This research will lead to a more complete description of electrojet dynamics and explain a number of measurements which have long puzzled aeronomers. Further, it will provide opportunities to train a number of students, both graduate and undergraduate, and a post-doctoral researcher in the geosciences.
