The PIs will combine ground-based radar data with DMSP satellite data collected during a four-month period to study global response times. The four operational DMSP satellites in orbit allow resolution of the response time measured by the satellite data to be as good as a few minutes. This proposal will analyze the ionospheric response seen in the radar and satellite data to determine the response time as a function of MLT and location. Results should give a better understanding of the evolution of the convection pattern in the polar ionosphere after a sign reversal in the IMF.***

PI将将基于地面的雷达数据与在四个月内收集的DMSP卫星数据相结合，以研究全球响应时间。 轨道中的四个操作DMSP卫星允许分辨卫星数据测量的响应时间达到几分钟。 该建议将分析在雷达和卫星数据中看到的电离层响应，以确定响应时间是MLT和位置的函数。 结果应更好地了解IMF中符号逆转后极地电离层中对流模式的演变。***
