We were graced to have the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Professor Yemi Osinbajo with us at the launch of the first Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) today. The system is named Virginia Tech – Nigerian Bowen Equatorial Aeronomy Radar (VT-NigerBEAR).
The radar network is the 36th of such in existence around the World. The VT-NigerBEAR is a network of high frequency radars that looks into the earth’s upper atmosphere, providing insight into variations in atmospheric conditions and weather hazards.
