Polar Aeronomy and Radio Science (PARS) Summer School

在接下来的五年里，阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯地球物理研究所将举办一个极地高空大气学和无线电科学（PARS）的暑期学校项目。它将在两周内举行，通常在7月底和8月初。学校将遵循过去六年建立的格式。这两个星期将花在一系列的讲座，实地考察和实验，在空间物理研究设施位于阿拉斯加内陆。学校每年在费尔班克斯地区开始一周，在地球物理研究所举办讲座，图尔斯地球物理研究所，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在学校的第一周进行。在学校的第二个星期，该小组已搬迁到高频活跃极光研究计划（HAARP）电离层观测站在加科纳，阿拉斯加，为额外的图尔斯和实验。在学校期间进行的实验涵盖了各种主题，包括（1）观测极光云，（2）使用HAARP发射机调制极光电射流产生极低频和极低频无线电波，以及（3）产生场对准密度不规则性。一些学生在主要的科学研讨会上介绍了他们的实验结果，并发表了关于PARS暑期学校实验结果的期刊文章。举办暑期学校的主要动机是为学生提供一个学习极地纬度高层大气和电离层的机会，并在学习过程中积累实际经验。需要有更多受过训练的科学家和工程师，了解高纬度电离层发生的特殊效应。暑期学校是为了吸引具有特殊才能的学生，使他们更加熟悉这一令人兴奋的学习领域。暑期学校把来自全国各地大学的学生和教师带到了阿拉斯加。

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.
