Funded Activity Summary

Plasma layers, waves and fountains: Probing the ionosphere with over-the-horizon radars. The ionised layers of the Earth’s upper atmosphere – the ionosphere - bend radio waves emitted by HF radio communication and radar surveillance systems allowing detection of targets beyond the horizon. This research will provide direct scientific support to this infrastructure including the $1.8B Australian coastal surveillance radars used to locate and track ships and planes in our region and radio communication links used by military personnel and civilians living or travelling in Australia’s remote territories. This project will also provide training in areas highly relevant to our partners in government and defense, potentially improve efficiency of scientific and military radars, and thus contribute to improving national security.
