Scientific paper

U.S. participation on ground based space research programs in Svalbard, mainly carried out in cooperation with Norwegian groups, is reported. Coordination of instruments, personnel, and observing time and place has proceeded on an informal, but effective basis. Most studies are tied to the CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric regions), GEM (Geospace Environment Modeling), and STEP (Solar Terrestrial Energy Program) programs and involve optical observations of the aurora and airglow which takes advantage of the 24 hours darkness, but there are other polar cap studies as well. The auroral station at Longyearbyenius is central to the American effort and would provide a unique base for ground based observations associated with the Cluster mission.
