1 FYS 3610 Research infrastructure and substorm aurora

2 Research Infrastructure Main installations for Space Research in North Norway and Svalbard Longyearbyen UNIS, EISCAT Svalbard Radar The auroral station Ny-Ålesund Norwegian polar institute, SvalRak North-Norway ARS, EISCAT

3 The Earth rotates underneath the auroral oval

4 The Uniqueness about Svalbard Ideally located for daytime auroral measurements Well developed research infrastructure Multi-instrument observations

5 UNIS 14 full-time scientists And ~100 students

6 The auroral station, LYR Owned by the University of Tromsø Operated by UNIS Ca. 22 instruments, 16 institutions from 8 nations

7 The new auroral station, LYR 15 out of 32 domes will be used after moving the instruments from Adventdalen.

8 Location of the new station

9 Why? Old station in Adventdalen is too small! Light pollution from Longyearbyen has increased! We need new improved working conditions! Space to accommodate new instruments and partners! Co-location with EISCAT and others Improved teaching and training facilities Continue and quality improve our long term measurements Keep the old station s scientific momentum Get away from sand storms in Adventdalen during autumn and spring Secure the field of auroral optics!

10 Ny-Ålesund Auroral Platform Key instruments: Meridian Scanning Photometer 4 channels All-Sky Camera (5 positions filter wheel)

11 All-sky field of view coverage NY A LY R ARS

12 FAST passasje gjennom Nordlyset
