This project supported by the Geospace Facilities Distributed Arrays of Small Instruments (DASI) will support the construction and deployment of a magnetometer array in northern New England as well as the construction of a data center. The Space Weather Underground (SWUG) network will bring a scientific investigation into the high school physics and engineering classrooms in northern New England. Students will continue ongoing projects to build fluxgate magnetometers and support hardware (photovoltaics, radio telemetry, and GPS) and then deploy the magnetometers at locations around the region. This array is capable of measuring local dynamics in Earth's Ionosphere in response to space weather events. Faculty at the University of New Hampshire will support the development effort and the data analysis efforts that will result in a manner that brings physics-driven computer programming tasks into the schools. The data generated from this network will be made publicly available to the scientific community.This magnetometer array will support existing magnetometers around the globe, monitor space weather, and provide insights into the small-scale ionospheric dynamics at mid-latitudes that result from solar wind transients. The spatial scale is designed to provide a measure of local dynamics as disturbances move through the region. It will provide unique measurements of mid-latitude dynamics that can be combined with global ground-based measurements, magnetospheric measurements from orbiting satellites, and solar wind data from Lagrange Point 1 (L1). This project also places a space physics research tool into the back yards of schools in northern New England and thereby serves to bring space science into the classroom. The same school-provided computers that serve the node data to the SWUG Data Center will have real-time graphics showing the state and activity of the local node. These magnetometers will constitute a network that will provide students and teachers with project-based activities that support inquiry and promote access to real scientific data. Participating schools will be provided with lessons to teach students the basics of magnetic forces, induction, geomagnetic fields, the solar wind and space weather.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目由Geospace设施分布的小型乐器（DASI）支持，将支持在新英格兰北部的磁力计阵列的建设和部署以及数据中心的构建。地下太空天气（Swug）网络将对新英格兰北部的高中物理和工程教室进行科学研究。学生将继续进行持续的项目来构建通量磁力计并支持硬件（光伏，射电遥测和GPS），然后在该地区附近的位置部署磁力仪。该阵列能够响应太空天气事件来测量地球电离层中的局部动力学。新罕布什尔大学的教师将支持发展工作和数据分析工作，从而导致将物理驱动的计算机编程任务带入学校。该网络产生的数据将公开向科学界公开使用。此磁力计阵列将支持全球现有的磁力计，监控太空天气，并在太阳能风能中导致的小型电离层动力学提供见解。瞬态。空间量表旨在随着干扰在该地区的移动而提供局部动力学的度量。它将提供对中纬度动力学的独特测量，可以与全球地面测量值，轨道卫星的磁层测量以及来自Lagrange Point 1（L1）的太阳风数据相结合。该项目还将一个太空物理研究工具放入新英格兰北部学校的后院，从而将太空科学带入课堂。将节点数据提供给Swug数据中心的相同学校提供的计算机将具有实时图形，以显示本地节点的状态和活动。这些磁力计将构成一个网络，该网络将为学生和教师提供基于项目的活动，以支持查询并促进获取真实科学数据的访问。将为参与的学校提供​​教训，以教学学生的基础知识，感应力，地磁领域，太阳风和太空天气。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛的评估来支持的。影响审查标准。
