Published purpose

The project is entitled 'Trans-ionospheric propagation investigations of high frequency radio waves in the terrestrial ionosphere by the ePOP satellite mission'. The project team will improve our understanding of how radio waves travel through the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) by analysing data from Canada's CASSIOPE satellite and radio wave instruments on the ground. Radio waves are essential for communications in northern Canada and for flights over polar regions. The team will develop a model that may be used by commercial airlines and radio users to monitor conditions over northern Canada.
