COUPLING OF SOLAR WIND ENERGY INTO THE EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT. We will investigate energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth's space environment, and down to low altitudes. The coupling occurs via reconnection between geomagnetic and interplanetary field lines, ultra-low frequency waves, and momentum transfer. Signatures of these processes include perturbations in the ionosphere and the geomagnetic field and these will be examined using ionospheric radars and sounders (in Tasmania, Antarctica, Canada and Alaska) and magnetometers (Antarctica and Alaska). Space weather can profoundly affect satellite, radio and terrestrial communication networks and observations of the type described here are essential to the development of realistic space weather models.

太阳风能量与地球环境的耦合。我们将研究从太阳风到地球空间环境的能量转移，并下降到低海拔。这种耦合是通过地磁场线和行星际磁力线之间的重联、超低频波和动量转移发生的。这些过程的特征包括电离层和地磁场的扰动，将使用电离层雷达和探测器（塔斯马尼亚、南极洲、加拿大和阿拉斯加）以及磁力计（南极洲和阿拉斯加）对这些扰动进行研究。空间气象可对卫星、无线电和地面通信网络产生深远影响，此处所述类型的观测对于开发现实的空间气象模型至关重要。
