A Study of Very High Latitude Geomagnetic Phenomena: Continued Support

9614175帕皮塔什维利该项目是美俄联合项目的延续，该项目将在南极洲运行一系列高纬度自动磁力仪。这些仪器将用于研究地球磁层中的极帽电流系统。南极大陆特别适合这些调查，因为它是唯一位于高纬度的陆地，因此是放置磁力计阵列的绝佳和稳定的位置。这些研究对于理解从太阳风到磁层、电离层和高层大气的能量和动量耦合尤为重要。这些数据还将被证明对与一些目前正在进行或计划在不久的将来进行的卫星实验相协调的分析非常有用。将开展的具体任务包括改进沃斯托克和米尔尼的数字地磁数据采集系统的设计，以及继续运营和维护通往沃斯托克的俄罗斯导线沿线的自主站。一项改进将是在Vostok增加卫星数据传输能力，以便为空间天气和研究应用提供近乎实时的极冠磁性指数。***

9614175 Papitashvili This project is the continuation of a joint U.S.-Russian program to operate an array of high latitude automated magnetometers in Antarctica. These instruments will be used to investigate polar cap current systems in the Earth's magnetosphere. The antarctic continent is uniquely suited to these investigations because it is the only land mass at very high latitudes, and is therefore an excellent and stable location for an array of magnetometers. These investigations are particularly important to the understanding of the coupling of energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and upper atmosphere. The data will also prove extremely useful for analyses coordinated with a number of satellite-based experiments that are currently in progress, or are planned for the near future. The specific tasks to be undertaken include design improvements in the digital geomagnetic data acquisition systems at Vostok and Mirny, and the continued operation and maintenance of autonomous stations along the Russian traverse route to Vostok. One improvement will be to add a satellite data transmission capability at the Vostok so that a polar cap magnetic index will be available in near real-time for space weather and research applications. ***
