Main Equatorial Station of the chain of incoherent scatter radio observatories dedicated to the study of the ionosphere and upper atmosphere.
RESEARCH PROGRAMS
AERONOMY AND SPACE WEATHER
The behavior of Earth's upper layers such as the ionosphere and thermosphere and the phenomena associated to them can affect our technologies and livelihoods.
In order to study and monitor the ionosphere and upper atmosphere in the equatorial region, different experiments and measurements are conducted with the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar and various instruments distributed in Peru. Go to the following link to access our database.
In our National Geophysical Repository (REGEN), you will find the publications generated by the different projects and studies carried out at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory.
LOCAL PROGRAM
We organize a national internship program for undergraduates students from local universities and an international internship program (JIREP) for master’s and doctoral students from abroad. INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
