| Allan
T. Weatherwax |
| |
| Assistant
Research Scientist |
| Institute
for Physical Science and Technology |
| |
| Ph.D.,
Physics, 1995, Dartmouth College |
| |
| Research Interests:
Dr. Weatherwax studies natural phenomena occurring in the Earth's
atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere by using imaging riometers,
magnetometers, all-sky cameras, radio receivers, and x-ray images
taken by the POLAR satellite. The broad focus of this research is
directed toward improved understanding of the mechanisms which couple
solar processes into the terrestrial environment. These include investigations
of phenomena associated with environmental effects such as cosmic
noise absorption, auroral x-rays, magnetic storms and substorms, induced
electrical currents, radiowave communication and interference, atmospheric
composition, wave-particle interactions at ULF to HF frequencies,
and space weather. |
