Operation of the Alaska-Canada High-Latitude Magnetometer Chain

支持地面仪器是磁层物理项目的一个重要目标。这个项目是为了继续运行阿拉斯加-加拿大子午线磁强计和里程计。这些仪器是研究高纬度地磁现象的重要工具，也是阿拉斯加大学和空间物理学界的遥感设施。子午线链紧跟着磁子午线，横跨极光椭圆形延伸到极帽。子午线链的数据已被空间物理学界广泛使用，并已成为许多卫星操作和从扑克平坦火箭发射场发射的火箭的重要诊断。* * * / /

Support for Ground-based instruments is an important goal of the Magnetospheric Physics Program. This project is for the continuing operation of the Alaska-Canada meridian chain of magnetometers and riometers. These instruments are an essential tool for the investigation of high-latitude geomagnetic phenomena and as a remote sensing facility for the University of Alaska and the space physics community. The chain closely follows a magnetic meridian, spanning the auroral oval reaching into the polar cap. The data from the meridian chain has been widely used by the space physics community and has been an important diagnostic for a number of satellite operations and rocket launches from the Poker Flat Rocket Range. *** //
