Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory

Programme

The Programme of the school is now available. Note, however, that some changes are still possible.

The Programme will be available in due time. It will follow approximately the same scheme as in previous radar schools, i.e. lectures on Monday and on Tue-Fri morning, with practicals and group work in the afternoons. An excursion is planned to the Skibotn EISCAT_3D site.

Excursion

The Radar School will include an excursion to the EISCAT_3D radar site at Skibotn, Norway, about an hour from the radar school location. As part of the excursion, we will also visit SGO's KAIRA facility (Kilpisjärvi Atmospheric Imaging Receiver Array) as well as a local waterfall.

Lecture Slides

The lecture slides will be made available during the radar school. You can access the materials of previous radar schools on-line (see below).
