This award supports cooperative research on ionospheric                         disturbances between Robert Hunsucker of the University of                      Alaska Geophysical Institute and S.M. Radicella, of the                         Programa Nacional de Radiopropagacion (PRONARP) in Buenos                       Aires, Argentina.  They will study the propagation of                           travelling ionospheric disturbances, generated in the                           northern and southern auroral regions, which travel for                         long distances toward the equator.  Two ionosondes will be                      donated to Argentina and set up to increase the monitoring                      of disturbance propagation by the NSF-supported chain of                        incoherent scatter radars in Greenland, Massachusetts,                          Puerto Rico and Peru.  The data will help our understanding                     of the relationship between energetic ionospheric events                        originating near the auroral ovals and the resulting                            disturbances propagating toward the equator.                                                                                                                    The U.S. PI brings to the collaboration considerable                            expertise in atmospheric gravity waves and travelling                           ionospheric disturbances.  The Argentine personnel at                           PRONARP are familiar with the equipment and will acquire                        useful data for future research.  A further benefit will                        derive from the enhanced ionospheric radio instrumentation                      chain in South America which will be available to other                         investigators for a variety of ionospheric studies.
