Sondrestrom Upper Atmospheric Research Facility, Scientific research facility near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.
The Sondrestrom Upper Atmospheric Research Facility features a 32-meter steerable antenna operating at 1.4 GHz frequency for upper atmosphere investigation.
The facility started operations in 1983 after being relocated from Chatanika, Alaska, where it previously conducted atmospheric studies from 1971 to 1982.
The research center contributed to international scientific collaboration between American and Danish institutions studying Arctic atmospheric phenomena.
Scientists can request specific data collection sequences through the facility's two advanced imaging systems for targeted atmospheric experiments.
The facility combines an L-band incoherent scatter radar with over 20 scientific instruments to gather comprehensive data about Arctic upper atmospheric conditions.
