Abstract Proper interpretation ofin situ satellite data requires a knowledge of the global state of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. CANOPUS is a large-scale array of remote sensing equipment monitoring the high latitude ionosphere from the north-central to the north-west portion of North America. The array comprises thirteen magnetometers and riometers four meridian scanning photometers, a digital allsky imager and an auroral radar linked by geostationary satellite to a central receiving node in Ottawa, where the data are archived and made available in near real time to participating scientists. This paper provides a technical description of the various instruments in the CANOPUS array, and contains a summary of the key parameters which will be provided to the Central Data Handling Facility (CDHF) located at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, for use by the ISTP/GGS community.
