This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The proposal seeks funding to: (a) continue ongoing studies that compare ground observations of Pc 1-2 waves with waves and ions observed by Cluster and THEMIS spacecrafts, both on dayside closed field lines (especially in relation to geomagnetic storms, to characterize their role in depleting the ring current and radiation belt electrons) and in the lobe/mantle region, to investigate whether they can be used to monitor the transport of magnetosheath plasma toward the tail; (b) compare ground-based observations of Pc 3-4 waves at cusp and polar cap latitudes with data from Cluster and THEMIS to investigate their propagation from their upstream source into and through the dayside magnetosphere and polar cap; and (c) continue recent satellite-ground studies of Pi 1B pulsations and substorms, in particular by comparing multi-station ground data with data from FAST, Cluster, and THEMIS spacecrafts, and by quantitatively analyzing multi-station data to test methods for inferring source locations, and by using combined ground and satellite Pi 1B data to probe the physical link between the onset location and the ionospheric signature of substorms. It is expected that the project will continue to play a significant role in a variety of studies of geospace phenomena including the solar wind?magnetosphere interaction and geomagnetic storms and substorms. The analysis effort associated with this project is highly suitable for involvement and research training of both graduate and undergraduate students.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。该提案寻求资金用于：(A)继续正在进行的研究，将对Pc1-2波的地面观测与CLUSTER和THEMIS宇宙飞船在日侧封闭场线(特别是与地磁风暴有关，以确定它们在耗尽环电流和辐射带电子方面的作用)和在叶/地幔区域观测到的波和离子进行比较，以调查它们是否可用于监测磁鞘等离子体向尾部的传输；(B)将对尖端和极帽纬度Pc3-4波的地面观测与集群和THEMIS的数据进行比较，以调查其从其上游源进入并穿过日侧磁层和极帽的传播情况；(C)继续最近对PI 1B脉动和亚暴的卫星-地面研究，特别是将多站地面数据与FAST、Cluet和THEMIS航天器的数据进行比较，并对多站数据进行量化分析，以测试推断震源位置的方法，并利用地面和卫星综合PI 1B数据探索亚暴的发生地点和电离层特征之间的物理联系。预期该项目将继续在各种地球空间现象的研究中发挥重要作用，包括太阳风？磁层相互作用和地磁风暴和亚暴。与这个项目相关的分析工作非常适合研究生和本科生的参与和研究培训。
