Infrastructure Development for Global Ionospheric Electrodynamics Study Using SuperDARN Radar

This project focuses on the construction and implementation of SuperDARN radar systems across various locations, including Aleutian Islands, AK, and Azores, Portugal. The research aims to improve the understanding of ionospheric electrodynamics and atmospheric processes on a global scale. Led by J. Michael Ruohoniemi from Virginia Tech, the initiative involves collaboration with institutions like OSU and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Key construction efforts for the radar infrastructures were conducted in Corvallis, OR, showcasing the importance of large-scale atmospheric dynamics.

  12. Oregon MSI Radar Build: Summer 2010 Near Shedd, OR

  13. Oregon MSI Radar Build: Summer 2010 Willamette Valley • Lots of flat agricultural land • Near OSU • Travel is relatively easy: • Southwest Airlines: MHT-PDX • Alaska and AA: BOS-PDX $500-$600 • Portland to Corvallis – 1:34 drive • Likely that contractors are readily available • Land looks heavily used, how likely is it to get a farmer to lease land to us? • Travel to Eugene not so easy: • No direct flights • United: BOS-SFO-EUG ~ $700 • Eugene to Corvallis – 1:03 drive • More populated than East of the Cascade Range
