China builds radar network to support global space weather forecast
This undated file photo provided by the National Space Science Center shows the high-frequency coherent scattering radars located in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. BEIJING -- China has built a mid-latitude high-frequency radar network in the country's northern regions to provide high-quality detection data for global space weather forecast and warning. Six high-frequency coherent scattering radars were set up in Jilin province, Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in northern regions of China. The high-frequency radar chain is expected to join the SuperDARN, a global network of scientific radars monitoring conditions in the near-Earth space environment, and realize real-time data exchange and sharing with databases in the United Kingdom and Canada.
