CEDAR: Early Polar Cap Observatory (ESU 93-13)

极地帽天文台（PCO）被认为是在了解太阳对地球大气结构和动力学的影响方面不断取得进展的关键。建立PCO的重要第一步是在加拿大西北地区雷索特湾发展基础设施，并在雷索特湾进行初步科学调查。pi建议提供必要的基础设施，以开始早期PCO （EPCO）阶段。这包括一座带有实验室空间、光学圆顶和生活区的建筑，以及道路建设和电线安装。PI还将提供空间接收器闪烁探测器和电离层漂移监测器，以及用于初步科学调查的频率敏捷雷达。这些研究将集中在极冠E场、等离子体结构、极冠极光弧和极地中间层回波。此外，拟议的基础设施将能够支持其他研究人员提出的仪器，这些仪器可能包括光谱仪、干涉仪、光度计、磁力计、地空探空仪、测热仪、中频雷达、ST雷达等。

The Polar Cap Observatory (PCO) is considered essential for continued progress in understanding the Sun's influence on the structure and dynamics of our planet's atmosphere. An essential first step to the establishment of the PCO is the development of infrastructure in Resolute Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada, and to conduct preliminary scientific investigations in Resolute Bay. The PIs propose to provide the necessary infrastructure to begin the Early PCO (EPCO) phase. This includes a building with laboratory space, optical domes and living quarters, along with road construction and installation of power lines. The PI will also provide a spaced-receiver scintillation detector and ionospheric drift monitor and a frequency-agile radar for preliminary scientific investigations. These investigations will focus on polar cap E fields, plasma structure, polar cap auroral arcs, and polar mesospheric echoes. In addition, the proposed infrastructure would be capable of supporting instruments proposed by other researchers that might include a spectrometer, interferometer, photometer, magnetometer, digisonde, riometer, MF radar, ST radar, and others.
