Funded Activity Summary

Electrodynamics of the High Latitude Ionosphere. Electrical power (~10^12 W on average), incident over the high latitude ionospheres drives auroral displays, causes magnetic disturbances and other space weather effects over the globe, including Australia. This project uses Iridium, a US$6 billion, commercial satellite constellation, to study energy deposition into the ionosphere from near-Earth space. The Iridium data is not public domain. This project provides data access, representing a significant cost-effective way for Australia to participate in observational space science. Australian postgraduate training is an integral part of the project, providing international level access and interpretation of scientific satellite and over the horizon radar network data.
