Description

GO-ABOVE the Geospace Observatory - Array for
Broadband Observations of VLF/ELF Emissions, is a ground‐based array of VLF radio receivers located across Canada and run as a part of the Canadian Space Agency's Geospace Observatory (GO). The ABOVE instruments monitor electromagnetic waves in a
frequency range from 100 Hz to 75 kHz, covering chorus and hiss
emissions as well as U.S. Navy transmitters near 25 kHz. The
absolute timing accuracy is 10 ns, from GPS.

The stations of the ABOVE array are:
