multi-point network from subauroral to equatorial latitudes by the
Optical Mesosphere Thermosphere Imagers (OMTIs) and the PWING Project</div>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;direction:ltr"><b>Speaker:</b> Dr Kazuo Shiokawa<br></p><div><b>Abstract:</b> The Optical
Mesosphere Thermosphere Imagers (OMTIs) consist of more than 20
all-sky cooled-CCD imagers, 5 Fabry-Perot interferometers, 3 airglow
temperature photometers, and 3 meridian-scanning photometers. The
OMTIs measure two-dimensional airglow images in the mesopause region
and the thermosphere, wind and temperatures in the lower
thermosphere, and airglow rotational temperatures in the mesopause
region. The PWING project (study of dynamical variation of Particles
and Waves in the INner magnetosphere using Ground-based network
observations, 2016-2020) operates all-sky airglow/aurora imagers,
64-Hz sampled induction magnetometers, 40-kHz VLF receivers, and
64-Hz riometers at 8 stations at magnetic latitudes of ~60 degrees
around the north-pole. The PWING stations cover longitudinal
variations of aurora and electromagnetic disturbances in the inner
magnetosphere. These PWING and OMTIs instruments are in automatic
operation at various locations from high to equatorial latitudes in
Canada, US (Alaska), Russia, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Japan,
Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia. We also recently develop low-cost
cameras to expand the network to connect between subauroral latitudes
and equatorial latitudes. In the presentation, we introduce current
configuration and recent results obtained by these multi-instrument
ground networks.</div>
