Presentation transcript:

SuperDARN is a network of HF radars (8-20 MHz) used to study the convection in the Earth's ionosphere at altitudes between 90 and 400 km and at magnetic latitudes between 60° and 90° (each radar has 16 azimuthal beams and 75 ranges). SuperDARN developed in the last 12 years. and 7 in the southern hemisphere. At present, 10 radars operate in the northern hemisphere
