Project Description:
Continued studies of the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere from Antarctica and nominally conjugate regions in the Arctic. This group maintains magnetometers at South Pole and McMurdo stations, as well as imaging and broadbeam riometers and 2-wavelength zenith photometers at South Pole and McMurdo in Antarctica, and imaging riometers at Iqaluit (nominally conjugate to South Pole) and Sondrestrom in the Arctic. The project provides the data acquisition systems at South Pole and McMurdo for the common recording of other geophysical data and the provision of these data to collaborating investigators.
