Antarctic Neutral Thermospheric and Mesospheric Dynamics and Thermodynamics

这个项目将继续运行1989年初安装在南极站的法布里-珀罗干涉仪。该仪器测量大气的温度以及上层大气的中间层和低层热层（MALT）区域的风。该仪器将与南极现有的航空仪器以及哈雷湾站的相干散射雷达一起运行，哈雷湾站是由美国国家科学基金会和英国南极调查局共同资助的。它们将共同提供高纬度地区高空大气动力学的更完整图景，并为国家大气研究中心开发的热层全球环流模型的验证和后续修改提供重要信息。该项目是大气区域耦合、能量和动力学（CEDAR）计划的重要组成部分。该项目由极地项目部的极地航空学和天体物理学以及大气科学部的航空学项目共同资助。

This project will continue the operation of the Fabry-Perot interferometer that was installed at South Pole Station in early 1989. The instrument measures the temperature of the atmosphere and the winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MALT) region of the upper atmosphere. The instrument will be operated in conjunction with the existing collection of aeronomy instruments at South Pole, as well as with the coherent scatter radar at Halley Bay Station which is jointly funded by NSF and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Together they will give a more complete picture of high altitude atmospheric dynamics at high latitude, and provide important information for the verification and subsequent modification of the thermospheric global circulation model that has been developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. This project is an important component of the Coupling, Energetic and Dynamics through Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) initiative. This project is jointly funded by the Division of Polar Programs' Polar Aeronomy and Astrophysics and the Division of Atmospheric Sciences' Aeronomy programs.
