Lower Thermospheric Science using New Meteor Radars at McMurdo and WAIS Divide

Wave-Wave Interactions and Upper Atmosphere Variability

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DELINEATE AND UNDERSTAND HOW COMPLEXITY IN THE FORM OF TIME VARYING LONGITUDE STRUCTURES ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE IONOSPHERE THROUGH LOWER ATMOSPHERE COUPLING, A LONGITUDE-DEPENDENT MAGNETIC FIELD, A TIME VARYIN

OBJECTIVES OF PROPOSED RESEARCH: (1) BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PLANETARY WAVES AND TIDES SERVE TO COUPLE THE LOWER AND UPPER ATMOSPHERES OF MARS OVER SHORT (DAYS TO WEEKS) TIME SCALES; (2) QUANTIFY HOW THIS COUPLING DRIVES THE CORRESPONDING VARIABILITY IN AER
