An example of operation for a partly manned Antarctic geomagnetic observatory and the development of a radio link for data transmission
(Annals of Geophysics, 2009. Vol. 52, 1 (Febrer), 2009-02)The experience acquired from more than ten years of operation of an Antarctic geomagnetic observatory is described along with the development of data transmission facilities. The observatory was deployed ... -
Vertical and oblique ionospheric soundings over a very long multihop HF radio link from polar to midlatitudes: Results and relationships
(Radio Science, 2009. Vol. 44, Rs2014, 2009-04)A vertical incidence sounder (VIS) was installed at the Spanish Antarctic Base (62.7°S, 299.6°E) during the Antarctic summer survey 2004–2005. In addition, an oblique sounding (OS) system for HF ... -
Remote Geophysical Observatory in Antarctica with HF data transmission: a Review
(Remote Sensing. 2014, Vol.6 (Juliol), 2014-07)The geophysical observatory in the Antarctic Spanish Station Juan Carlos I (ASJI) in Livingston Island has been monitoring the magnetic field in the Antarctic region for more than fifteen years. In 2004, ... -
Vertical and oblique ionospheric soundings performance comparison over the 12,760 km transequatorial HF link between Antarctica and Spain
(Radio Science. 2017. Vol.52, No.4 (Abril), 2017-03)This paper presents the second part of the study of the oblique sounding of a 12,760 km transequatorial ionospheric link between Livingston Island (Antarctica) and Cambrils in Spain. The study consists ... -

(Blanch, E., and D. Altadill (2012), Midlatitude F region peak height changes in response to interplanetary magnetic field conditions and modeling results, J. Geophys. Res., 117, A12311, doi:10.1029/2012JA018009., 2012-12-13)The response of the electron density peak height of the F2 region, hmF2, to geomagnetic storms has been investigated and a characteristic behavior of the peak height disturbance in relation to local-time, ... -
A new approach to the hourly mean computation problem when dealing with missing data
(Earth Planet Sp (2009) 61: 945, 2009-10-19)Geomagnetic observatory records are unavoidably affected by primary data interruptions which, in turn, may have possible effects on the accuracy of the definitive data derived from them. One of the ... -
