The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been operating Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) since July 1, 1997. The current three-year NSF grant started on March 1, 2001, and this grant provides primary, backbone support for BBSO. BBSO telescope time and data are available to all. The observatory has produced over 100 scientific papers under the first two years of this NSF support. At present, the PI is building and implementing a high-order adaptive optics system for BBSO, and he has begun to build a new 1.6-m clear aperture, off-axis telescope for BBSO.This proposed three-year program of solar physics research at BBSO would cover the decaying phase of solar cycle 23. The program would emphasize sustained campaigns of high resolution and high cadence studies of magnetic fields and the solar atmosphere - efforts for which BBSO is ideally suited. BBSO staff also plans to engage in instrument development to better carry out the proposed high resolution and/or high cadence observations. The PI notes that the scientific work proposed can be done with the current BBSO instrumentation and telescope, but would yield more probing results with the new instrumentation and telescope. All on-going instrumentation projects would be completed before, or early in, the period covered by this proposal - except the 1.6 telescope project, which is not required for the science proposed here, because the new telescope would not be completed until late in the period of the proposed work.

新泽西理工学院（NJIT）自1997年7月1日起开始运行大熊太阳观测站（BBSO）。目前为期三年的NSF拨款于2001年3月1日开始，该拨款为BBSO提供主要的骨干支持。BBSO望远镜时间和数据可供所有人使用。在NSF支持的头两年，该天文台已经发表了100多篇科学论文。目前，PI正在为BBSO建造和实施一个高阶自适应光学系统，他已经开始为BBSO建造一个新的1.6米净孔径离轴望远镜。该计划将强调对磁场和太阳大气的高分辨率和高节奏研究的持续活动-BBSO非常适合这些努力。BBSO工作人员还计划参与仪器开发，以更好地执行拟议的高分辨率和/或高节奏观测。PI指出，拟议的科学工作可以用目前的BBSO仪器和望远镜完成，但新的仪器和望远镜将产生更多的探测结果。所有正在进行的仪器项目都将在本提案所涉期间之前或早期完成-1.6望远镜项目除外，该项目对此处提出的科学研究没有要求，因为新望远镜要到拟议工作期间的后期才能完成。
