Space-Time Description of Non-Migrating Tidal Effects in the Low-Latitude Ionosphere

该项目将设计、制造和部署一个沿着印度洋-太平洋区域磁赤道的纵向仪器网络，以促进对低纬度电离层日常变化的调查，特别是关于迁移和非迁移潮汐结构的调查。 这种测量将能够解决卫星观测波结构时的时空模糊问题，该项目将确定这种结构是作为驻波图案还是由纬向传播的非迁移波产生的。 具体来说，仪器将包括能够获得150公里和赤道电喷射回波的磁力计对和雷达。 该项目将在以前建立的国际合作基础上，促进与国际调查人员的新伙伴关系。

This project will design, fabricate, and deploy a longitudinal network of instruments along the magnetic equator in the Indo-Pacific region in order to facilitate investigations of day-to-day low-latitude ionospheric variability, particularly with regard to migrating and non-migrating tidal structures. Such measurements will be able to resolve space-time ambiguities in satellite observations of wave structures, and the project will determine whether such structures are produced as a standing wave pattern or by zonally propagating, non-migrating waves. Specifically, the instrumentation will include magnetometer pairs and radars capable of obtaining both 150 km and equatorial electroject echos. This project will build upon previously established international collaboration and foster new partnerships with international investigators.
