ePOPSwarmE Radio Receiver Instrument RRI trans-ionospheric radio wave studies
FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-25
Summary
This research is to advance understanding of the interaction of the 'atmosphere' of the Sun, which interacts with the upper 'atmosphere' (above 100 km) of the Earth. These interactions cause space weather which may have adverse effects on our modern technology. This research will improve our understanding of how high frequency radio waves propagate through the upper atmosphere or ionosphere. Radio waves are essential for communications in northern Canada and for polar commercial airline flights. Better understanding will minimise adverse effects on radio communications for society through analysing and modelling observations obtained from the Canadian scientific satellite mission ePOP/CASSIOPE/Swarm E.

These interactions cause space weather which may have adverse effects on our modern technology.

Description (French)
Cette recherche vise à faire progresser la compréhension de l'interaction de « l'atmosphère » du Soleil, qui interagit avec la « haute atmosphère » (au-dessus de 100 km) de la Terre. Ces interactions provoquent des conditions météorologiques spatiales qui peuvent avoir des effets néfastes sur notre technologie moderne. Cette recherche améliorera notre compréhension de la manière dont les ondes radio haute fréquence se propagent dans la haute atmosphère ou l’ionosphère. Les ondes radio sont essentielles aux communications dans le nord du Canada et aux vols commerciaux polaires. Une meilleure compréhension permettra de minimiser les effets négatifs sur les communications radio pour la société grâce à l'analyse et à la modélisation des observations obtenues par la mission satellitaire canadienne ePOP/CASSIOPE/Swarm E.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
