Kerguelen SuperDARN Radar

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has been developed in the last 10 years for the study of the high latitude ionosphere in the framework of Solar-Terrestrial Relations and of the investigation of the near Earth environment.

Description

SuperDARN consists of two longitudinal chains, in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, comprising respectively of 9 and 6 HF coherent radars. One of the radars in the Southern chain was installed at the end of 1999 as a result of a IFRTP-PNRA collaboration in the French island of Kerguelen in order to complete as much as possible the coverage of the ionospheric auroral and polar cap regions.

The radar has operated since then normally and has undergone regular maintenance.
