The recent successful launch of the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite presents a unique opportunity to obtain global measurements of the mesosphere that can be coordinated with ground-based instrumentation to further our understanding of the dynamics of this important region. This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) project requests support for ground-based Medium Frequency (MF) radar measurements using the Imaging Doppler Interferometry (IDI) technique as implemented on the dynasonde operating at the Utah State University Bear Lake Observatory. Because the IDI technique is viewed by many within the aeronomy community as being controversial, this study will also carry out a detailed analysis of coordinated meteor wind measurements, as well as undertaking a correlation analysis using similar measurements acquired with an MF radar being operated at the Platteville site in Colorado.

最近成功发射的热层、电离层、中间层、能量学和动力学（TIMED）卫星提供了一个独特的机会，可以利用地面仪器对中间层进行全球测量，以进一步了解这一重要区域的动力学。探索性研究小额赠款（SGER）项目要求支持地面中频（MF）雷达测量，使用成像多普勒干涉（IDI）技术，在犹他州州立大学熊湖天文台的dynasonde上运行。由于IDI技术被许多高层大气科学界视为有争议的，这项研究还将进行协调流星风测量的详细分析，以及进行相关性分析，使用类似的测量与MF雷达正在运作的普拉特维尔网站在科罗拉多。
