2.2.2 spase://SMWG/Repository/AARDDVARK AARDDVARK 2010-10-16T00:00:00Z The Antarctic-Arctic Radiation-belt (Dynamic) Deposition - VLF Atmospheric Research Konsortium (AARDDVARK) 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. We use the upper atmosphere as a gigantic energetic particle detector to observe and understand changing energy flows; this Science area impacts our knowledge of global change, communications, and navigation. The joint NZ-UK Antarctic-Arctic Radiation-belt (Dynamic) Deposition - VLF Atmospheric Research Konsortia (AARDDVARK) is a new extension of a well-establish experimental technique, allowing long-range probing of ionisation changes at comparatively low altitudes. Most other instruments which can probe the same altitudes are limited to essentially overhead measurements. spase://SMWG/Person/Craig.J.Rodger GeneralContact Information page http://www.physics.otago.ac.nz/space/AARDDVARK_homepage.htm Information page Information page http://www.physics.otago.ac.nz/space/AARDDVARK_homepage.htm Information page
