What Does SUPERDARN Stand For?

SUPERDARN stands for Super Dual Auroral Radar Network

SUPERDARN, or Super Dual Auroral Radar Network, is a global network of high-frequency radar systems designed to study the ionosphere and its impact on space weather. By capturing data on ionospheric currents and auroral phenomena, SUPERDARN enables researchers to enhance our understanding of geomagnetic storms and their effects on satellite operations, communication systems, and global positioning systems (GPS). The network plays a crucial role in advancing space science and improving predictive models for space weather events.
