项目摘要

The PIs plan to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in the area of atmospheric sciences. Proposed participants include Professor Donald K. Brandvold, Chair, "Chemistry Department, Dr. James Jones, Physics Department,Professor Carl J. Popp (PI), Professor David J. Raymond, Chair,Physics Department, Professor William Rison, Department of Electrical Engineering, Professor Stephen D. Schery (Co-PI), Professor Ronald Thomas, Department of Electrical Engineering, andProfessor William P. Winn, Physics Department and Chair, Langmuir Laboratory. The Departments of Chemistry and Physics at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology have maintained an REU site for five years. NMIMT has ongoing programs in studies of atmospheric electricity, atmospheric chemistry, and acid deposition centered around facilities available at the Irving Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research located near Socorro, New Mexico and the physics and chemistry laboratories on the NMIMT campus. The PIs plan to support eight students to participate in the REU site, and they intend to allocate six of the eight awards to students outside of the NMIMT through a formal application procedure. Additionally, they plan to involve minority students in the program. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the following studies: 1) The role of large liquid drops in precipitation development (Prof. Blyth); 2) Chemistry of N2O in lightning and corona: field and laboratory experiments (Prof. Brandvold); 3) Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment data analysis (Dr. Jones); 4) Distribution, sources, and effects of acidic precipitation in New Mexico (Prof. Popp); 5) Rainwater chemistry associated with lightning discharges; 6)Cloud physics and mesoscale convective systems (Prof. Raymond); 7) Lightning (Prof. Rison); 8) Atmospheric Radioactivity (Prof. Schery); 9) Remote atmospheric and ionospheric detection system (Prof. Thomas); and 10) Electrical structure of thunderstorms (Prof. Winn).

PI 计划继续在大气科学领域建立本科生研究经验网站。拟议的参与者包括化学系系主任 Donald K. Brandvold 教授、物理系 James Jones 博士、Carl J. Popp 教授（PI）、物理系系主任 David J. Raymond 教授、电气系 William Rison 教授工程系教授 Stephen D. Schery（共同负责人）、电气工程系 Ronald Thomas 教授以及物理系兼化学系和物理系系主任 William P. Winn 教授。新墨西哥矿业技术学院的 REU 站点已维护五年，NMIMT 正在开展以位于索科罗附近的欧文·朗缪尔大气研究实验室设施为中心的大气电学、大气化学和酸沉降研究项目。新墨西哥州以及 NMIMT 校园的物理和化学实验室。 PI 计划支持八名学生参与 REU 网站，并打算通过正式申请程序将八个奖项中的六个分配给 NMIMT 以外的学生。此外，他们计划让少数族裔学生参与该计划。学生将有机会参与以下研究：1）大液滴在降水发展中的作用（Blyth教授）； 2）闪电和电晕中N2O的化学：现场和实验室实验（Brandvold教授）； 3）对流与降水/带电实验数据分析（琼斯博士）； 4）新墨西哥州酸性降水的分布、来源和影响（Popp教授）； 5) 与闪电放电相关的雨水化学； 6）云物理与中尺度对流系统（Raymond教授）； 7）闪电（Rison教授）； 8）大气放射性（Schery教授）； 9) 远程大气和电离层探测系统（Thomas教授）； 10) 雷暴的电气结构（Winn 教授）。
