This project would continue the operation, maintenance and research being done with the Automated Geophysical Observatories (AGOs) in Antarctica. The older AGOs would be supplemented with new types of systems referred to as Automated Real-time Remote Observatories (ARRO) and Autonomous Low-Power Instrument Platforms (ALPIPS). The project will continue research in four broad topic areas: (1) magnetospheric substorm phenomena, (2) polar cap phenomena, (3) cusp phenomena, and (4) radiation belt dynamics. This is a collaborative project involving nine institutions. Data collected by the instruments will be made available to the public in near real-time. The project includes significant student involvement, both graduate students and undergraduates.

该项目将继续与南极洲的自动化地球物理观测站(AGOS)进行的操作、维护和研究。旧的AGOS将被称为自动实时远程天文台(ARRO)和自主低功率仪器平台(ALPIPS)的新型系统补充。该项目将继续在四个广泛的主题领域进行研究：(1)磁层亚风暴现象，(2)极帽现象，(3)尖点现象，和(4)辐射带动力学。这是一个涉及九个机构的合作项目。这些仪器收集的数据将近乎实时地向公众提供。该项目包括大量的学生参与，包括研究生和本科生。
