MRI Collaborative: Development of Monitors for Alaskan and Canadian Auroral Weather in Space (MACAWS)

Monitor the density and fluctuation of Earth’s ionosphere using ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. Specifically we want to understand how the ionosphere changes in response to auroral energy input. Certain Alaska NEON sites would be included in a larger network (25 total in Alaska, and 10 in Canada) to monitor the density and fluctuation of Earth’s ionosphere using ground-based GNSS.
