Résumé
13STFACA16: This project entitled «Above2, Airborne Balloon Observations of VLF waves and Electrons over the Array for Broadband Observations of VLF-ELF Emissions » has the objective(s) : New instruments aimed at monitoring of Van Allen belt particles: During space weather events, high-energy particles from Earth's Van Allen radiation belts can rain down into the upper atmosphere over Canada. In order to better understand how these particles can be monitored from the ground, this project will be launching three high-altitude stratospheric balloons. The balloons will watch for X-rays produced by high-energy electrons, while arrays of ground-based radio instruments simultaneously watch from below.

Description (French)
13STFACA16: Le présent projet intitulé «Above2, Airborne Balloon Observations of VLF waves and Electrons over the Array for Broadband Observations of VLF-ELF Emissions» (disponible en anglais seulement) a pour objectif(s) : Nouveaux instruments voués à la surveillance des particules des ceintures de Van Allen : Lors d'épisodes de météo spatiale, des particules à haute énergie émanant des ceintures de radiation de Van Allen entourant la Terre peuvent retomber en pluie dans la haute atmosphère au dessus du Canada. Pour nous permettre de mieux comprendre comment assurer la surveillance de ces particules depuis le sol, trois ballons stratosphériques à haute altitude seront lâchés. Ces derniers capteront les rayons X produits par les électrons à haute énergie, tandis que des réseaux d'instruments radio situés au sol sonderont simultanément l'atmosphère.
