The University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Worldwide Interplanetary Scintillation Stations (WIPSS) Workshop; San Diego, California; December 18-19, 2016

该奖项使杰出的美国和国际科学家能够参加全球行星际闪烁站（WIPSS）研讨会，该研讨会将于2016年12月18日至19日在圣地亚哥的加州大学举行。该讲习班的目的是促进通信，以建立基础设施，将来自地球仪的所有IPS地点的数据联合收割机合并起来，这些地点目前基本上是独立运作的。作为一个协调的国际网络，它们将优化测量的有效性，这有助于美国和国际上的空间天气准备。行星际振荡是在无线电信号中观察到的波动。这些可以用来确定空间中向地球传播的扰动的速度和密度。这些扰动包括日冕物质抛射，这是最大、最强烈的空间天气事件。这些都有可能破坏电网和通信卫星。

This award enables the participation of distinguished U.S. and international scientists at the Worldwide Interplanetary Scintillation Stations (WIPSS) Workshop, which is to be held at University of California at San Diego during December 18-19, 2016. The intent of this workshop is to facilitate communication for building the infrastructure to combine data from all of the IPS locations across the globe, which currently operate more or less independently. As a coordinated international network, they will optimize the effectiveness of the measurements which contribute to the space weather readiness of the US and internationally. Interplanetary scintillations are fluctuations observed in radio signals. These can be used to determine the speed and density of disturbances in space propagating toward Earth. These disturbances include the coronal mass ejections, which are the largest and most powerful of space weather events. These have the potential to disrupt the power grid and communications satellites.
