CARA General Meeting

PROGRAM

Monitoring Space Weather Using VLF Radio Instruments

Speaker: Dr. Chris Cully, Univ. of Calgary Space Physics Research Group


 The Earth's atmosphere is frequently bombarded by
high-energy particles from the Van Allen radiation belts, affecting
radio communications and atmospheric chemistry. The University of
Calgary runs a project to observe this particle precipitation by
monitoring its effect on radio propagation in the VLF band. In this talk
The discussion will be about this project, including the science objectives and the technical details of the VLF receivers.
