[AARDDVARK: Antarctic-Artic Radiation-belt (Dynamic) Deposition - VLF Atmospheric Research Konsortium|http://www.physics.otago.ac.nz/space/AARDDVARK_homepage.htm] Provides continuous long-range observations of the lower-ionosphere. The Konsortia sensors detect changes in ionisation levels from ~30-85 km altitude, with the goal of increasing the understanding of energy coupling between the Earth's atmosphere, Sun, and Space !AARDVARK.gif|align=center! |
