GIRO provides accurate specification of the electron density in the Earth's
ionosphere at >60 locations in the world. 37 GIRO locations provide real-time ionospheric
data to the central server in Lowell, Massachusetts within several minutes. GIRO sites
are equipped by Digisonde instruments that use the high frequency remote sounding
technique to probe the bottomside ionosphere from 80 km up to the peak of ionospheric
plasma density. Real-time and retrospective data from GIRO locations are ingested in Lowell
Digital Ionogram DataBase (DIDBase) GIRO data are open for public access via DIDBase and
DriftBase Web Portals, and custom software tools for digisonde data analysis, SAO Explorer
and Drift Explorer.
