Description of the infrastructure

Centrum Badań Kosmicznych PAN (CBK PAN or Space Research Centre PAS - SRC PAS) will offer the instrumental infrastructure, historical and near real time depositories of observable data, models and procedures for multi-instruments space plasma diagnostics.

This includes access to LOFAR PL610 station measurements, RELEC RFA, ionosonde, riometers and GPS measurements. Complementary data from satellite databases are also used for diagnostic and modelling purposes (e.g. COSMIC, DEMETER).

Areas of access

  • Quantification of the impact of magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling on auroral region boundary layers behaviour using satellite in situ measurements from DEMETER, Relec, COSMIC, as well as measurements from ground-based infrastructures.
  • Implementation of novel techniques based on LOFAR diagnostics for determining the characteristics of small and middle scales ionospheric irregularities.
