Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions-CEDAR                      Under this project, CEDAR studies of the coupled                           thermosphere-ionosphere system will be enhanced by a program of                 simultaneous direct observations of the neutral and ionized upper               atmosphere by optical and radar techniques from the M.I.T.                      Millstone Hill site.  The University of Pittsburgh Fabry-Perot                  interferometer (FPI), currently installed at Millstone Hill, will               be maintained and operated for a program of coordinated optical/                radar investigations of thermosphere-ionosphere coupling and                    dynamics.  The FPI will be operated routinely on all clear nights               and the optical data will be merged into the existing data base                 at Millstone Hill and made available to CEDAR investigators.  An                optical research staff member will oversee the coordination of                  the FPI and other optical facilities at Millstone Hill with the                 incoherent scatter radar operations and will facilitate the                     analysis of the data obtained.
