U.S.-RUSSIA WORKSHOP: STEP Electrodynamics and Composition of the Mesosphere (March 1992; Nizhny Novgorod, Russia)

由华盛顿大学西雅图分校的Robert Holzman博士和俄罗斯诺夫哥罗德尼兹尼应用物理研究所的A.M.Feigin协调的关于日地能源计划(STEP)电动力学和中间层组成的研讨会将于1992年3月在下尼兹尼的研究所举行。国家科学基金会高层大气研究科致力于与国际STEP计划合作，并通过其在相关研究活动中对科学家的支持，在实现STEP目标方面发挥核心的智力作用。特别是，与中间层组成和大气层电动力学有关的目标是最近受到高度重视的目标，最近在这方面取得了非常重大的进展。讨论的内容包括：NCL-91 COMPAR的初步结果；D区电动力学与化学的关系；极地中间层云(PMSC)；NCL与PMSC的关系；中层电动力学与全球电性；电动力学与次要成分。该项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和俄罗斯的顶尖研究人员能够在平等互利和互惠互利的基础上，将基础科学研究领域中共同感兴趣和能力强的领域的互补努力和能力结合起来。

This workshop on Solar Terrestrial Energy Program's (STEP) Electrodynamics and Composition of the Mesosphere coordinated by Drs. Robert Holzman of the University of Washington-Seattle and A. M. Feigin, Institute of Applied Physics, Nizhny, Novgorod, Russia will be held at the Institute in Nizhny in March 1992. The Upper Atmospheric Research Section at the NSF is committed to cooperation with the international STEP program and through its support of scientists in related research activities plays a central intellectual role in meeting STEP objectives. In particular the objectives relating to the composition of the mesosphere and the electrodynamics of the atmosphere are ones that have received strong recent emphasis and in which very significant recent progress has been made. The items to be discussed include preliminary results of NCL-91 compain; relation between electrodynamics and chemistry of the D-region; polar mesospheric clouds (PMSC), relation between NCL and PMSC, mesospheric electrodynamics and global electricity, and electrodynamics and minor constituents. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the United States and Russia 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.
