Project description DEENESFRITPL Linking best-in-class facilities for upper atmosphere and near-Earth space physics Key national and regional research infrastructures, such as the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association (EISCAT), the Low Frequency Array, or LOFAR (a new-generation radio interferometer constructed in the north of the Netherlands and across Europe), and the Digisonde ionospheric sounders, will come under a single European distributed network. This is the aim of the EU-funded PITHIA-NRF project. By integrating these facilities on a European scale and opening them up to all European researchers, the project will help to significantly advance research in the field of upper atmosphere and near-Earth space. The work will ultimately pave the way for new observation technologies and standard-making processes for software and high-level data products. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective PITHIA-NRF aims at building a European distributed network that integrates observing facilities, data processing tools and prediction models dedicated to ionosphere, thermosphere and plasmasphere research. For the first time, PITHIA-NRF integrates on a European scale, and opens up, to all European researchers, key national and regional research infrastructures such as EISCAT, LOFAR, Ionosondes and Digisondes, GNSS receivers, Doppler sounding systems, riometers, and VLF receivers, ensuring optimal use and joint development. PITHIA-NRF is designed to provide organized access to experimental facilities, FAIR data, standardized data products, training and innovation services. Furthermore, PITHIA-NRF facilitates drastically research advances in the field of upper atmosphere and near-Earth space, through the integration of data collections from satellite missions (such as Cluster, DEMETER, Swarm and CHAMP) and results from key prediction models (such as IPIM-IRAP, MCM-SWAMI, SWIF and EUHFORIA) that can be accessed by scientific users for join exploitation with the data collected from the research infrastructures of the network. PITHIA-NRF paves the way for new observing technologies, and to standard-making processes for software and high-level data products that are tuned to meet the requirements of technologies concerned, linking best-in-class R&D facilities to provide seamless multi-technology services.
