An Intensive Campaign to Study the Dynamics of the Low- Latitude Mesosphere: Experinment, Analysis and Theory

在的春天，将在波多黎各的阿雷西博天文台进行一场广泛的运动。这项关于中间层和低热层动力学的研究将结合有史以来在一个地点组装的最大规模的仪器集合来研究这一重要的大气区域。该奖项规定在这一活动中包括一台流星雷达和一台微光光学成像仪，以便最大限度地参与这项工作并获得科学成果。整个方案将包括分布在波多黎各多个地点的阿雷西博非相干散射雷达、相干雷达、流星雷达、光学成像仪以及光谱、干涉和测光仪器。

In the spring of 1989 an extensive campaign will take place at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. This study on the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere will combine the largest collection of instruments ever assembled at one location to study this important region of the atmosphere. This award provides for the inclusion of a meteor radar and a low-light-level optical imager in this campaign in order to maximize the participation and obtainable science in this endeavor. The overall program will include the Arecibo incoherent scatter radar, coherent radars, meteor radars, optical imagers and spectroscopic, interferometric and photometric instruments distributed at a number of locations in Puerto Rico.
