This project will continue the operation of, data collection of , data dissemination from the Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies (MACCS). The MACCS array now consists of nine high latitude magnetometers covering the eastern Canadian Arctic. In addition to the operation, data collection and data dissemination activities the project involves several scientific research activities. These activities include: (1) understanding the ULF waves associated with magnetic storms, (2) understanding the coupling of the ionospheric electric field to magnetospheric processes and the solar wind drivers, (3) understanding high-latitude transient events such as the formation of polar patches, and (4) understanding the relation between the location of ULF waves, visual auroral phenomena and field-aligned current systems.The project is being carried out at an undergraduate institution and a number of undergraduates, including students from under-represented groups will be involved with the research.

该项目将继续运行、收集和传播来自尖端和裂缝研究磁力计阵列（MACCS）的数据。MACCS阵列现在由九个高纬度磁力计组成，覆盖加拿大东部的北极地区。除了作业、数据收集和数据传播活动外，该项目还涉及若干科学研究活动。这些活动包括：(1)了解与磁暴相关的极低频波；(2)了解电离层电场与磁层过程和太阳风驱动因素的耦合；(3)了解高纬度瞬变事件，如极地斑块的形成；(4)了解极低频波的位置、视觉极光现象和场向电流系统之间的关系。该项目正在一所本科院校进行，一些本科生，包括来自代表性不足群体的学生将参与这项研究。
