New server based SID monitor for Space Physics projects at schools
2011
Earths ionosphere has a strong influence on the propagation of radio signals. The ionosphere
reacts strongly on solar x-ray and UV radiation released during solar flare, solar storm, or coronal
mass ejection. The ionospheric reaction is the so-called sudden ionospheric disturbances (SID).
The German solar ionospheric monitor network (SIMONE) is a public outreach project targeting
K-12 school classes and is operating since 2007 in Germany VLF radio receivers with the aim to
detect SID. By monitoring signal strength from a so distant VLF transmitter that the radio waves
are bounce off the ionosphere one can detect SID. Recently a next generation radio receiver
including an ethernet server was developed and deployed to test users at schools in Finland and
Germany. Their data and experiences of their SID school projects are gathered on a new internet
platform for the SIMONE project operated at DLR in Neustrelitz. This presentation reports on
pre-liminary results obtained from the new server based SID monitor.
