Description:
The Italian Upper Atmosphere Observatory at polar latitude was firstly established during
the Antarctic campaign 1990-1991 to support the telecommunication logistic activity of
the National Program for Antarctic Research (PNRA). The Istituto Nazionale di
Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), formerly Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica (ING), was
involved in this action as the long time experience in HF radar, ionospheric sounding and
ionospheric prediction services for radio communication purposes, managing two of the
most important and historical ionospheric observatories all over the world: Rome (41.8N,
12.5E) and Gibilmanna (37.9 N, 14.0 E). Since that time, starting from 1993 up to now,
several research projects have been carried on focusing on the multi instruments upper
atmosphere observations in Arctic and Antarctica with the aim to study the polar
ionosphere in different time and space domains, contributing both to the Global Change
and to the emerging Space Weather needs. Here we briefly report on the experimental
activities as well on the main scientific results obtained highlighting the latest findings in
the field of bipolar GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) ionospheric scintillation
measurements and investigation.
