Department of Radiophysics of Geospace

of Institute of Radio Astronomy NAS of Ukraine was established in 1993. The main scientific areas of interest are:

• Space weather studies:

  • Ionospheric and magnetospheric researches at high and middle latitudes. >>
  • Study of the natural global resonances of the earth-ionosphere waveguide system. >>
  • Development of the new radio physical and radio astronomical methods of remote sounding of the geospace, its plasma and field characteristic. >>
  • Satellite ionospheric diagnostic systems design. >>

• Interplanetary medium studies:

  • Jupiter's sporadic high frequency radio emission research. >>
  • Development of the theoretical models of radio wave propagation. >>

The department consists of 1 associate member of NASU, 2 Sc.D., 4 Ph.D. and 4 technicians. The work on the Low Frequency Observatory is directed by the head of the scientific laboratory Oleksander V. Koloskov. Experimental researches with the collaboration of the department are conducted at different ionospheric laboratories in Ukraine, Arctic, Antarctic, Alaska, Europe and USA. Ongoing monitoring of the meteorological, magnetic and ionospheric parameters, measurements of the cosmic and intergalactic rays are held on the Low frequency observatory IRA, Martova.
