This proposal requests continued CEDAR support to operate and analyze data from the set of optical instruments at Peach Mountain Observatory (PMO), Michigan. The program will address the following objectives: 1) the continued collection of mesospheric and lower thermospheric geophysical data (neutral winds and temperatures for airglow layers corresponding to hydroxyl and atomic oxygen) to establish a long-term, mid-latitude climatology; 2) the coordination and operation of experiments through the comparison of data sets acquired simultaneously by the FPI, ASI, and FTS; 3) the training of graduate student in the operation of the optical experiments plus the interpretation of the data sets; 4) the submission of the collected geophysical data sets to the CEDAR NCAR data base; 5) the analysis and publication of results. In particular, data from the PMO will be used to characterize gravity-wave and tidal behavior in the mesosphere and the lower thermosphere in an attempt to determine the significance of the background neutral-wind bulk flow in the interpretation of gravity- wave fluctuations.

该提案请求继续雪松支持，以操作和分析密歇根州桃山天文台（PMO）的光学仪器集的数据。 该计划将解决以下目标：1）持续收集中层和较低的热层地球物理数据（中性风和气流层的温度，与羟基和原子氧相对应），以建立长期的中期层间气候学； 2）通过比较FPI，ASI和FTS同时获得的数据集的协调和操作； 3）在光学实验的运作中对研究生的培训以及数据集的解释； 4）将收集的地球物理数据集提交给Cedar NCAR数据库； 5）结果的分析和发布。 特别是，来自PMO的数据将用于表征中层和较低热层中的重力波和潮汐行为，以确定背景中性宽大块流在解释重力波波动中的重要性。
