Legacy Projects/Instruments

Legacy projects and instruments are no longer active ISWI projects. Their pages are listed here to preserve their historical association with ISWI

African Dual Frequency GPS Network (AMMA)
Lead Scientist: Dr. Olivier Bock (IGN)  France
Objective: To increase the number of real-time dual-frequency GPS stations worldwide for the study of ionospheric variability, response of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) during geomagnetic storms over the African sector.

Coherent Ionospheric Doppler Receivers (CIDR)
Lead Scientist: Prof. Ayman Mahrous (Helwan University, Egypt) and Dr. Trevor W. Garner(U Tex) United States
Objective: To tomographically reconstruct the ionosphere and to provide input to Data Assimilation models

Remote Equatorial Nighttime Observatory for Ionospheric Regions (RENOIR)
Lead Scientist: Dr. Jonathan J. Makela (U Illinois) United States
Objective: Study the equatorial/low-latitude ionosphere/thermosphere system, its response to storms, and the irregularities that can be present on a daily basis.
