This is a one-year effort to support the continued operation of a network of research magnetometer stations along the west coast of Greenland. The main objective is to prevent a gap in the operation of these stations during the transition in responsibility from the Danish Meteorological Institute to the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark that has been initiated recently. The bridging support provided with this effort will maintain these stations during the next year while the Danish National Space Institute (DNSI) secures research funding to continue the support and operation of these stations. DNSI has already obtained support to continue the operation of the three full geomagnetic observatories in Greenland. This provides an infrastructure in place within Greenland so that only modest additional support is required to operate the additional 9 magnetic variometer research stations along the western coast. The observations from this network constitute a longstanding valuable asset to the international space physics research community. Amongst other, they provide important context information for many studies being conducted with the NSF Incoherent Scatter Radar in Sondre Stromfjord. Currently, they also form an essential part of inter-hemispherical comparative studies conducted with recently installed and planned magnetometers and other geophysical observation stations in Antarctica, which are deployed at locations exactly designed to form a hemispherical conjugate constellation to the Greenland network. An extended gap in this data source would cause significant complications and delay the progress on a large number of ongoing and planned research projects. The project will be carried out in close collaboration between researchers in the US and Denmark and also includes travel support for a student from the US to work with the Danish team over the summer.

这是为期一年的努力，旨在支持格陵兰西海岸的研究磁力计网络的继续运行。 主要目的是防止在最近启动的丹麦气象研究所到丹麦技术大学国家空间研究所的责任期间，这些电台的运作差距。 这项工作提供的桥接支持将在明年维持这些站点，而丹麦国家太空研究所（DNSI）则获得了研究资金，以继续对这些电台的支持和运营。 DNSI已经获得了支持，以继续在格陵兰岛的三个完整的地磁天文台运行。 这提供了格陵兰岛内部的基础设施，因此只需要适度的额外支持才能操作西部海岸沿岸的9个磁力仪研究站。 该网络的观察结果构成了国际太空物理研究界的长期宝贵资产。 除其他外，它们还为许多在Sondre Stromfjord中使用NSF不连贯的散点雷达进行的研究提供了重要的上下文信息。 目前，它们还构成了在南极洲最近安装和计划的磁力仪和其他地球物理观察站进行的毛间间比较研究的重要组成部分，南极洲的其他地球物理观察站在精确地旨在形成半球形共轭星座的位置部署到绿地网络。 该数据源的扩大差距将导致重大并发症，并延迟许多正在进行的和计划的研究项目的进展。 该项目将在美国和丹麦的研究人员之间密切合​​作进行，还包括为来自美国的学生提供的旅行支持，以在夏季与丹麦团队合作。
