This award provides support for the operation and                          maintenance of the Millstone Hill UHF Atmospheric Sciences radar                for a program of incoherent scatter investigations of upper                     atmospheric structure and dynamics.  Radar operations of                        approximately 900 hours per year will be carried out with                       emphasis given to the multi-radar experiments which constitute                  the international World Day and CEDAR programs.  Other multi-                   radar operations as proposed by the radar user community and as                 well as single-radar investigations of phenomena specific to                    Millstone Hill's location at sub-auroral latitude will be                       pursued.  The World Day program includes detailed studies of the                high and mid-latitude thermosphere and electrodynamics as well as               synoptic experiments which provide a rich data base for a variety               of upper atmospheric research topics.  Support is provided for                  the related research of the Haystack Observatory Atmospheric                    Sciences Group, who staff the radar and direct its operation.
