This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This project will deploy a new Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) at the U.S. Palmer Station located in the Antarctic Peninsula. The FPI will observe mesospheric and thermospheric neutral winds and temperatures using multiple nightglow emissions (OH, 892 nm, 87 km; O 557.7 nm, 97 km; O 630 nm, 250 km; and O2 (0-1) 865 nm, 94 km). The project's team will collaborate with Australian scientists who operate similar FPI instruments at their Antarctic stations Mawson and Davis to jointly analyze the neutral wind and temperature data distributions over the continent and address the following scientific problems: (1) Thermospheric neutral winds effects on the Weddell Sea Anomaly, (2) Non-migrating tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, (3) Lower thermospheric meridional wind circulation and mesosphere wind shear, (4) High-latitude geomagnetic field effects on the mid-latitude thermosphere, and (4) Conjugacy studies of the mesosphere and thermosphere with the incoherent scatter radar and FPI observations from Millstone Hill, Massachusetts. The fieldwork and analysis efforts associated with this project are highly suitable for involvement and research training of graduate students.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该项目将在位于南极半岛的美国帕尔默车站部署新的Fabry-Perot干涉仪（FPI）。 FPI将使用多个夜间排放（OH，892 nm，87 km; O 557.7 nm，97 km; O 630 nm，250 km;和O2（0-1）865 nm，94 km）观察到中层和热层中性风和温度（OH，892 nm，87 km; O 557.7 nm; o 630 nm; o2（0-1）。 The project's team will collaborate with Australian scientists who operate similar FPI instruments at their Antarctic stations Mawson and Davis to jointly analyze the neutral wind and temperature data distributions over the continent and address the following scientific problems: (1) Thermospheric neutral winds effects on the Weddell Sea Anomaly, (2) Non-migrating tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, (3) Lower thermospheric meridional wind circulation and中层风剪，（4）高纬度地磁场对中纬度热层的影响，以及（4）Mesosphere和Hemertophere与马萨诸塞州Millstone Hill的不连贯的散点雷达和FPI观测的共轭研究。与该项目相关的现场工作和分析工作非常适合研究生的参与和研究培训。
