摘要:
The Sun shines, and Earth and its inhabitants benefit. But the Sun radiates more than light, and these radiations are variable over time scales of seconds to days. The consequences for people range from glorious celestial displays—auroras—to subtle but potentially damaging effects on the technological systems that are increasingly important for daily living. For example, electric power transmission systems and communication links have proven vulnerable to solar phenomena. And outside of Earth's protective atmosphere and magnetic shield, there is a small but genuine risk of a solar energetic particle burst that would be lethal to satellite sensors and command and control systems and astrona

摘要:
In early 1991, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) initiated a large‐scale, international effort to assess the atmospheric effects of pollution introduced by the burning of more than 500 oil wells in Kuwait. This effort resulted in a myriad of measurements from aircraft, satellite, and surface stations. In coordinating these programs, WMO assumed responsibility for integrating and disseminating these measurements to international research organizations in a systematic and timely fashion. As a first step in addressing this responsibility, a workshop was convened at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) July 22–24. It was decided there that NCAR would serve as the central archival site for the Kuwait oil fire data.Since that time, the NCAR Research Aviation Facility has hired new staff and begun development of the Kuwait Data Archive (KuDA). Examples of data resident in KuDA include various measurements from the NCAR Electra sensors, satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, lidar data, and the National Meteorological Center model output. Other aircraft data sets and surface measurements are still undergoing processing and quality control before being submitted to the arch

摘要:
The geospace environment encompasses the highest and largest of the four physical geospheres—lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and magnetosphere. Despite its size, its far‐reaching structures interconnect and move together in a choreography of organized dynamics, whose complexity is reflected in the intricate movements of the northern lights. The vastness and inaccessibility of geospace, encompassing the plasma environment of the magnetosphere/ionosphere system, and the invisibility of its structures pose great challenges to scientists who want to study its dynamics by obtaining, in effect, video tapes of its globally organized motions. A key component of their strategy is the ability to see nearly all of geospace imaged onto the top of the atmosphere. The geomagnetic field threads the volume of geospace and transmits action, TV‐like, from the magnetospheric stage down its lines of force onto the atmospheric s
