21st Century Ionospheric Research using the Cornell University Portable Radar Interferometer

摘要：ATM-0075241“使用康奈尔大学便携式雷达干涉仪进行21世纪电离层研究”，韦斯利·E，康奈尔大学斯沃茨该奖项授予目前位于波多黎各的便携式甚高频干涉仪雷达(称为CUPRI)在研究扩展F和零星E中的地磁排列不规则性方面的应用。这项工作将是本系列观测工作的继续，并结合旨在了解这些不规则性形成的原因的分析。这些正在进行的测量将辅之以与阿雷西博天文台对低热层区域风的非相干散射雷达观测进行的协调活动。该奖项还将结合实地测试对数据采集部分进行重大升级，目的是提高这些观测的时间和空间分辨率。将对巴西的一套测量结果进行进一步分析，以便将赤道测量结果与在波多黎各获得的结果进行比较。

Abstract: ATM-0075241"21st Century ionospheric research using the Cornell University portable radar interferometer"Swartz, Wesley E., Cornell UniversityThis award addresses the application of a portable interferometer VHF radar (known as CUPRI), presently located in Puerto Rico, to the study of geomagnetic field-aligned irregularities in spread F and sporadic E. This work would be a continuation of the present series of observations combined with analysis directed to the understanding of the causative factors underlying the formation of these irregularities. These ongoing measurements would be supplemented with coordinated campaigns with the Arecibo Observatory incoherent scatter radar observations of the winds of the lower thermosphere region. This award would also undertake significant upgrades of the data acquisition component combined with field tests with the aim of improving the temporal and spatial resolutions of these observations. Further analysis of the Brazilian set of measurements would be undertaken to compare equatorial results with those obtained in Puerto Rico.
