Abstract
The eSWua (electronic Space Weather upper atmosphere) project supports the development and the operation of the INGV ionospheric monitoring network and all the related infrastructures.
Additional Description
The eSWua (electronic Space Weather upper atmosphere) project supports the development and the operation of the INGV ionospheric monitoring network and all the related infrastructures. Ionospheric monitoring at INGV has a long history, which began with the installation of one of the first ionospheric observatories in the world in 1947. In recent time, the network has strongly increased its capability in terms of global distribution of the monitoring stations as well as concerning the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure, which allow the near-real time acquisition, the historical data preservation and the online data dissemination. The network is currently composed of several GISTM (GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC monitor) receivers aimed at studying and monitoring the ionospheric irregularities as well as ionosondes, performing ionospheric vertical radio soundings. The instruments are distributed in several regions (Antarctic and Arctic areas, Europe, south and central America, central Africa and east Asia) covering high, low, and middle latitudes and are operating 24/7 thanks to the collaboration with several partner institutions.
