Owens Valley Solar Array, Solar and radio telescope complex in Owens Valley, California, US
The Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array consists of thirteen antennas and a 27-meter calibration antenna, operating at frequencies between 1 and 18 GHz.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology assumed operations of the Owens Valley Solar Array in 1997, marking a transition in research capabilities.
The observatory site holds connections to the ancestral territories of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe in the eastern Sierra Nevada region.
Scientists access daily observations of solar activities and space weather data through an open system that includes analysis software and documentation.
The facility conducts measurements of solar phenomena using dual polarization capabilities across multiple antennas for enhanced data precision.
