EISCAT Sodankylä Site

EISCAT Sodankylä site has been one of the receiving sites of the incoherent scatter radar system, operated by EISCAT Scientific Association. The other sites of the tristatic system were located in Kiruna, (Sweden), in Tromsø (Norway), and ESR radar in Longyearbyen at Svalbard. The EISCAT Headquarters are located in Kiruna.

The EISCAT organisation is moving to new era. Old Kiruna and Sodankylä antennas will be removed, when Tromsø facility still continues operation until start of the EISCAT_3D radar. The new EISCAT3D site in Finland is located to Karesuando. Follow the steps of the EISCAT_3D project from the official EISCAT website.
