Coordinated Incoherent Scatter Radar and Fabry-Perot Interferometer Measurements at the Magnetic Equator in Peru

CEDAR（耦合、能量学和动力学）的一个主要目标 大气区域）计划是一个了解全球 电离层-热层耦合 赤道地区是 主要关注全球的整体认识， picture. 该项目建议开展广泛的 使用非相干散射雷达的协调研究. 秘鲁希卡马卡和法布里-珀罗干涉仪观测 来自秘鲁的阿雷基帕。 这将比较 电子密度分布和等离子体垂直漂移 与热层中性风的速度。 结果 将与现有的电离层和热层 模型***

A major goal of the CEDAR (Coupling,Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions ) program is an understanding of global ionospheric-thermospheric coupling. The equatorial region is of major interest in the overall understanding of the global picture. This project proposes to carry out extensive coordinated studies using the incoherent scatter radar at Jicamarca, Peru and the Fabry-Perot Interferometer observations from Arequipa, Peru. This will compare the effects of the electron density profiles and the vertical plasma drift velocities with the thermospheric neutral winds. The results will be compared with the available ionospheric and thermospheric models. ***
