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

该奖项允许杰出的美国和国际科学家参加世界星际闪烁站（WIPSS）研讨会，该研讨会将于2016年12月18日至19日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。本次研讨会的目的是促进构建基础设施的通信，以组合来自全球所有IPS位置的数据，这些位置目前或多或少是独立运行的。作为一个协调的国际网络，他们将优化测量的有效性，为美国和国际的空间天气准备做出贡献。行星际闪烁是在无线电信号中观测到的波动。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。这些干扰包括日冕物质抛射，这是空间天气事件中最大和最强大的。这些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.
