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.

ATM-9986976 Oppenheim，Meers主要研究人员建议研究发生在E区的米到公里尺度的湍流，以回答一些长期存在的关于这个重要的大气区域电动力学的问题。 PI先前的研究通过动力学模拟、理论和对观测数据的密切评估的结合，帮助进一步了解了该地区的动力学。 这项研究将导致更完整的描述电射流动力学和解释一些长期困扰着航天员的测量。 此外，它还将提供机会培训一些学生，包括研究生和本科生，以及一名地球科学博士后研究员。
