REU: Undergraduate Research Participation Site at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan

这是对REU网站的奖励。10到12名本科生被竞争性地选中，在密歇根大学空间物理研究实验室度过三个暑期，每个人都与大约30名教职员工中的一名合作，这些教职员工从事气辉和大气科学、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的研究。在这项研究中，学生们有机会与他们的导师、项目中的其他本科生、大学的研究生和其他教职员工进行互动。他们能够亲身体验已经或即将在太空飞行的仪器，正在对大气进行遥感测量，并制造和校准这些最先进系统的部件。他们还能够选择构建和使用软件包，这些软件包可以解决解析表达式，以图像形式呈现空间飞行数据，并操作大型数据库。他们的部分经验包括参加Sprl教职员工每周举行的研讨会，将他们的工作写在给他们的导师的报告中(可能会出版)，以及向学生和教职员工口头介绍他们的报告。

This is an award for a REU Site. Ten to twelve undergraduate students are competitively selected to spend three summer months at the Space Physics Research Laboratory, University of Michigan, where each works with one of the about 30 faculty members doing research in Airglow and Atmospheric Science Space Plasma Physics, Cometary Studies, Planetary Atmospheres, Air Pollution Transport, and Lidars. In this research the students have opportunities to interact with their mentors, other undergraduate students in the program, graduate students at the university and other faculty members. They are able to have hands on experience working with instrumentation which has or will fly in space, is making remote sensing measurements of the atmosphere, and fabricate and calibrate components of these state of the art systems. They are also able to choose to construct and work with software packages which solve analytical expressions, present space flight data in image forms, and manipulate large data bases. A portion of their experience involves attending weekly seminars given by the SPRL faculty staff, writing up their work in a report for their mentor (which may be publishable), and presenting their report orally to the students and staff.
