Polar Aeronomy and Radio Science (PARS) Summer School

在接下来的五年里，阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学的地球物理研究所将举办一个极地航空和无线电科学（PARS）的暑期学校项目。它通常在7月底和8月初举行，为期两周。这所学校将遵循过去六年建立的模式。这两周将在阿拉斯加内陆的空间物理研究设施中进行一系列的讲座、实地考察和实验。学校每年开始在费尔班克斯地区进行为期一周的地球物理研究所讲座，并参观地球物理研究所，扑克平坦研究范围和高功率极光刺激（HIPAS）电离层加热设施。学生实验计划在费尔班克斯地区的设施已经在学校的第一周进行。在学校的第二周，这个小组已经搬迁到阿拉斯加加科纳的高频主动极光研究计划（HAARP）电离层观测站，进行额外的参观和实验。在学校进行的实验涵盖了各种主题，包括：(1)夜光云的观测，(2)利用HAARP发射机调制极光电喷流产生极低频和甚低频无线电波，以及(3)产生场向密度不规则。一些学生已经在主要的科学研讨会上展示了他们的实验结果，并且已经发表了关于PARS暑期学校实验结果的期刊文章。暑期学校的主要动机是为学生提供一个研究极地纬度的高层大气和电离层的机会，并将实践经验融入学习过程。需要更多训练有素的科学家和工程师，他们了解高纬度地区电离层中发生的特殊效应。暑期学校的设立是为了吸引有特殊才能的学生，让他们更加熟悉这个令人兴奋的研究领域。这个暑期学校吸引了全国各地大学的学生和教师到阿拉斯加。

For the next five years, the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks will host a summer school program in polar aeronomy and radio science (PARS). It will be held during a two-week period, usually in late July and early August. The school will follow the format that has been established over the last six years. The two weeks will be spent in a series of lectures, field trips, and experiments, at the space physics research facilities located around interior Alaska. The school has started out each year with a week in the Fairbanks area with lectures at the Geophysical Institute, and tours of the Geophysical Institute, the Poker Flat Research Range, and the HIgh Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) ionospheric heating facility. Student experiments scheduled for the facilities in the Fairbanks area have been carried out during the first week of the school. For the second week of the school, the group has relocated to the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) Ionospheric Observatory at Gakona, Alaska, for additional tours and experiments. The experiments conducted during the school cover a variety of topics, including (1) observations of noctilucent clouds, (2) generation of extreme low frequency and very low frequency radio waves using the HAARP transmitter to modulate the auroral electrojet, and (3) generation of field-aligned density irregularities. Several students have presented their experiment results at major scientific workshops, and journal articles have been published on the results from PARS summer school experiments. The primary motivation for the summer school is to provide an opportunity for students to study the upper atmosphere and ionosphere at polar latitudes with practical experience built into the learning process. There is a need for more trained scientists and engineers with knowledge of the special effects that occur in the ionosphere at high latitudes. The summer school is provided to attract students with exceptional talent to become more familiar with this exciting area of study. The summer school has brought student-faculty pairs from universities around the country to Alaska.
