Status of Artist Upgrade

Abstract

Digisonde 256s and the AWS version DISS (Digital Ionospheric Sounding System) were installed in Argentia, Newfoundland; Wallops Island, Virginia in 1986; Bermuda in 1987; College, Alaska and Goose Bay, Labrador in 1988. The systems generally have run successfully at these stations. Ionospheric data, tape and hard copy records and system status reports are available from these mid and high latitude stations. It was realized that additional developments would improve the resulting ionospheric data and the system reliability. The development work is in these three categories: (1) Improve scaling and true height profile analysis; (2) Automate the measuring of drift data and recording data on magnetic tape; and (3) Input/Output operation improvement and diagnostic programs for testing communication ports. Keywords: Ionospheric data; AN/FMQ-12; Ionograms; ARTIST Computer program.
