[2] "Peru installation report on December in 2015",
by H. Matsushita, ICSWSE, Kyushu University, Japan
We developed new MAGDAS site in Peru on December in 2015 under the support by Dr. Jose K. Ishitsuka, the director of Huancayo observatory of IGP, and local committees.
The purpose of this installation is to investigate and monitor detailed structure of Equatorial Electro-Jet (hereafter, it is called EEJ) or structural change of EEJ caused by ionosphere disturbances. Other participants for this installation are Dr. Shuji Abe from International Center for Space Weather Science and Education (ICSWSE), and two under graduate students from Kyushu University.
The section of "Introduction" explains brief introduction of EEJ and our purpose of this installation. The sections of "Work report at Tingo Maria" and "Work report at Tarapoto" explain our contact person at each sites, how we installed magnetometer there, and shows derived data. The section of "Future work" explains our future plan in terms of both scientific and capacity building.
