Description
The low-latitude Ionospheric Sensor Network (LISN), is a permanent array of geophysical instruments to investigate the complex day-to-day variability and the extreme state of disturbance that occurs in the equatorial ionosphere nearly every day after sunset. The LISN project aims to provide to the Aeronomy community nearly real-time observables (nowcast) from different instruments spaced across the South American low-latitude ionosphere. LISN consists of 35 ground-based GPS receivers, 5 magnetometers installed on 2 baselines across South America, and 1 VIPIR ionosonde that is operating at Jicamarca.
This workshop will start with a report of the status of the instrument deployments, scientific results of several projects that have been carried out using TEC values collected in South America. We will also describe projects that have used the Jicamarca VIPIR to study the ionospheric conditions during occurrence of 150 km echoes and to image with high temporal resolution the evolution of plasma bubbles. We also invite researchers, post-docs, and students to participate in a round-table discussion of new projects that can be conducted with the LISN instruments.
