Event A-111    2014 / 2015 Season

The proposed effort will allow the continued operation of a suite of synoptic instrumentation used to study the ITM system. Such “base−state” data products (e.g., magnetic field and ULF wave variability, particle precipitation energy, scintillation occurrence, chorus and EMIC data) are a fundamental measure of activity within the geospace environment, and will therefore support a wide variety of systems−oriented research topics that will better our understanding of the energy transfer and modulation of the geospace system. Among these include the aforementioned sample research topics.


There will be 2 teams. One from NJIT and one from Japan.

The first team (4 people) will arrive from Christchurch on Nov 10 and stay at MCM for 1.5 weeks.
    They will then proceed to SPA.

The first team will:
   a) update the newly installed DAQ system at Arrival Heights and remove the original system
   b) install a searchcoil magnetometer at Arrival Heights, requiring a wall penetration [for 2 cables]

The second team (2 people) will arrive from Christchurch in Dec 28 and proceed to SPA for 1 week.
    They will then proceed to MCM for 1 week, and then return.

The second team will:
   a) install a new all−sky camera at Arrival Heights, requiring a roof penetration/dome
