Analysis of South Pole Electric Field Data: Nature of Variations Related to Sector Boundary Crossings.

探索性研究小额补助金（SGER） 计划，提供资金来分析电场数据， 在南极洲采集的，大部分是在南极。 目标是 将电场与太阳风参数联系起来， 部门边界过境点。 调查人员认为是 如果扇区边界交叉点有很大的影响， 在高纬度的电场上，那么反过来， 全球电场，然后可以控制的形成 云 这可能会为人们所渴望的 “太阳-天气”的联系，许多科学家认为， 太阳的变化性是一种驱动力， 地球的天气 这是一个非常有争议和多- 纪律研究。

This grant, under the Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) Program, provides funds to analyze electric field data that has been collected in Antarctica, mostly at South Pole. The goal is to relate the electric fields to solar wind parameters, principally sector boundary crossings. The investigator believes that it is possible that if the sector boundary crossings have a large effect on the high latitude electric field, then that in turn, will effect the global electric field, which then may control the formation of clouds. That might provide a viable mechanism for the much sought "sun-weather" connection, a belief by many scientists that the variability of the sun is a driving force in the variability of Earth's weather. This is a very controversial and multi- disciplinary study.
