- Il progetto
Our proposal aims at filling the existing gap of the observing GNSS systems and related ICT platforms over the Arctic region as a whole, by gathering the GNSS information acquired at Svalbard, Finland, Greenland and Canada. The unprecedented effort will represent the unique infrastructure capable of monitoring and investigating the northern polar atmosphere by means of high-rate GNSS data. The novelty stands in the integration of different data sources managed by INGV (Svalbard and Greenland), UNB (Canada) and FMI (Finland) creating a bi-continental infrastructure.

- Motivazione, importanza della ricerca
The Pan-Arctic GNSS INfrastructure for Atmospheric Science brings together expertise, instrumentations and IT infrastructures of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Italy), the University of New Brunswick (Canada) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (Finland) with the aim to fill the existing gap of the observing GNSS systems and ICT infrastructure over the Arctic region.
- Obiettivi della proposta
The goal is an IT infrastructure capable of monitoring and investigating the northern polar atmosphere utilizing high-rate GNSS data acquired over the area of Svalbard, Finland, Greenland and Canada. The platform will be useful for several GNSS-based applications, such as space weather users and climate change observers.
- Attività svolta e risultati raggiunti
The hardware of the IT infrastructure has been acquired and the whole components have been successfully installed at the Dirigibile Italia station in Ny-Alesund during October 2025.
The software component of the IT infrastructure for data management and accessibility is under development. The system is under test and already integrates the GNSS stations in the Arctic area belonging to INGV and FMI.
