Experiments at Bear Lake ObservatoryAll-Sky Gravity Wave ImagerA long-term investigation of the occurrence frequency, spatial scale-sizes and directionality of short-period (< 1-hr) gravity wave propagation and dissipation signatures in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) region (~80-100 km) over the Rocky Mountains. DynasondeThe dynasonde is a NOAA HF digital radar system capable of transmitting between 0.1 and 30 MHz. At BLO, the dynasonde is used in swept-frequency mode for synoptic studies of the mid-latitude ionosphere. Since 1999, the dynasonde has also been employed to make fixed-frequency soundings of the mesosphere (60-115 km) operating as a MF radar in Imaging Doppler Interferometer mode. Mesospheric Temperature MapperAn investigation of seasonal variability and wave-induced temperature perturbations in the mid-latitude (~42° N) mesosphere at the ~87 km level. Meteor Wind RadarAn experimental study using a Meteor Radar system on loan from Prof. Wayne Hocking (University of Western Ontario, Canada) to measure winds and estimate temperatures in the ~80-100 km MLT region. MagnetometerA three-axis Flux gate that monitors year-round variations of the Earth's magnetic field and the currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere. SEC RIFS ProjectSpace Environment Corporation (SEC) is hosting three instruments: 3-axis magnetometer, GPS L1-band scintillation monitor, and an Ionosonde. These instruments are used to support the Regional Ionospheric Forecast & Specification (RIFS) project for providing warnings of ionosphere disturbances impacting navigation and communications systems. Weather StationMeasurements from the BLO are being used in support of the GIFTS Education and Public Outreach program to help educate K-12 students. SoumiNet GPS ReceiverMeasures both ionspheric total electron content and tropospheric temperature and water vapor content. |
