One of the major concerns in the study of the upper                        atmosphere is the height variation and density of the neutral                   atmosphere around the globe and its response to solar and                       geomagnetic inputs.  This information is critical input and                     necessary for all of the global ionospheric and thermospheric                   circulation models.  This is one of the highest priority areas of               interest to the CEDAR program.  This award concerns the                         development and implementation of a new method which maps the                   neutral upper atmosphere density in height, latitude, and time                  using the simultaneously acquired incoherent scatter radar data                 and optical data from stations distributed at different                         latitudes.  The results of this study will allow enhanced use of                the existing data base and guide data acquisition from these                    systems in the future.
