This collaborative project has two primary goals: (1) to resolve a long-standing discrepancy in data/model comparisons of electron energy balance in the mid-latitude F-region ionosphere from ~105-600 km, and (2) to assess potential secular temperature trends associated with global change. Both studies will utilize highly-precise measurements of ionospheric composition and temperature acquired from incoherent scatter radar (ISR) at Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico, under both active and quiet solar cycle conditions.

该协作项目具有两个主要目标：（1）解决中纬度F-Region电离层中电子能量平衡的长期差异，从〜105-600 km和（2）评估与全球变化相关的潜在世俗温度趋势。 两项研究将在主动和安静的太阳周期条件下，利用从Arecibo天文台的不连贯散射雷达（ISR）获得的电离层组成和温度进行高度专业的测量。
