With this research, the Principal Investigator (PI) seeks to utilize data from an inter-hemispheric network of 13 conjugate-point all sky imagers (ASI) to investigate various upper atmosphere phenomena that are manifestation of a couple ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere (ITM) system. This study, utilizing data from instruments deployed globally, offers a unique way to make progress by studying the effects a single cause has in two hemispheres simultaneously; with high-resolution images illuminating the roles receptor conditions play for each phenomenon studied. The broader impacts of this project are very strong, spanning education and training of students, outreach activities, and international collaborations.The scientific goals of this research, i.e., to study a broad set of upper atmospheric science topics that are manifestations of highly coupled systems within and connected to the ITM regions, are highly compelling, and the utilization of a global network of imagers would open new scientific investigations enabled by this comprehensive observational capability. The distinguished high qualifications of the investigators, together with an impressive and long-standing record of significant productivity represent high likelihood of success.

通过这项研究，首席研究员（PI）试图利用13个共轭点的全叶型网络（ASI）的数据，以研究表现出表现的各种高层大气现象，这些现象表现出了一对电离层 - 热圈 - 层层层层（ITM）系统。 这项研究利用来自全球部署的工具的数据，通过同时研究两个半球的造成影响，提供了一种独特的方法来取得进展。使用高分辨率图像照亮了所研究的每种现象的作用受体条件的作用。 该项目的更广泛影响非常强大，涵盖了学生的教育和培训，宣传活动和国际合作。这项研究的科学目标，即研究一系列广泛的大气上的科学主题，这些主题表现为内部高度耦合系统并与ITM地区相连的高度耦合系统，这是高度引人注目的，并且可以构成全球的科学研究。 研究人员的杰出资格以及令人印象深刻且长期以来的重要生产力记录代表了成功的很高可能性。
