Developmental Visit to Initiate Joint Research Projects in Studies of the Magnetosphere Cusp

该旅行奖的目的是支持地磁、电离层和无线电波传播研究所（IZMIRAN）电离层实验室主任叶夫根尼·米欣博士访问阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校，探讨在磁层尖端研究方面发展长期合作建议的可能性。这是美国国家科学基金会与苏联科学院基础研究合作谅解备忘录下的北极研究总范畴下的一个目标课题。该项目通过使美国和苏联的主要研究人员在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和有能力的基础科学研究领域结合互补的努力和能力，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。

The purpose of this travel award is to support a visit at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks by Dr. Yevgeniy Mishin, Head of the Ionospheric Laboratory of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere, and Radio Wave Propagation (IZMIRAN), to explore the possibility of developing proposals for long- term cooperation in studies of the magnetospheric cusp. This is a targeted topic under the general category of Arctic Research under the Memorandum of Understanding between NSF and the Soviet Academy of Sciences for basic research cooperation. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and the U.S.S.R. to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
