CIELO

The CIELO area (Cluster of Instruments for Equatorial and low Latitude Observations) is responsible for managing a set of geophysical instruments for the observation of the ionosphere and upper atmosphere in order to improve and increase our knowledge about the phenomena that occur in these regions. These instruments are grouped in monitoring networks that are deployed in different cities of Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia.

The monitoring networks are composed of GNNS receivers, ionosondes, magnetometers, Fabry-Perot interferometers, airglow cameras, among others. All instruments acquire data continuously and are sent in real time to IGP servers, where they are stored, processed and distributed to the scientific community.
