AGONET and Space Weather

The Antarctic Geospace Observatory NETwork (AGONET) is an international effort and was established as a joint programme by the working group STAR (Solar Terrestrial and Astrophysical Research) of the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR).  

The aims of AGONET are:

• Deploy instrumentation relevant to the detection of ionospheric and auroral phenomenon.
• Use the data acquired for the study if magnetosphere-ionosphere interaction all over the Antarctic continent. 

Inter-Agency Consulative Group

The Inter-Agency Consulative Group (AICG) for Space Sciences was formed in 1981 and in 1986 decided to adopt Solar -Terrestrial Science as its next project for inter-agency coordination.
