Amateur Radio Observations Help Monitor Space Weather

by Gang Lu 17 May 202217 May 2022

Amateur radio observations provide a new method for studying large-scale ionospheric disturbances and HF communication impacts, and are important applications in ionospheric space weather monitoring.

A New Journey Around (and Around) the Sun

by Daniele Telloni, Francesco Valentini and Raffaele Marino 25 February 202225 February 2022

The Solar Orbiter just completed its commissioning phase while en route to the Sun. It has already provided valuable looks at solar campfires and Venus’s magnetic fields, and it promises much more.

Can Aurora Enhance Radar Monitoring of Arctic Aviation?

by Michael A. Hapgood 2 February 202215 March 2022

Enhanced E-region ionization produced by the aurora can be used to reflect signals from over-the-horizon radars and thus enable those radars to better monitor aviation in Arctic regions.
