IMAGE consists of 41 magnetometer stations maintained by 10 institutes
from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden. The prime objectives
of IMAGE are to study auroral electrojets and moving two-dimensional current
systems. The long profile covering geographic latitudes from 51 to 79 degrees
is especially favourable for electrojet studies. Together with other ground-based
recordings (by radars, riometers, all-sky cameras) and satellite observations,
IMAGE is an essential part in the investigations of high-latitude
magnetospheric-ionospheric physics. Together with its predecessor, the EISCAT
magnetometer cross started in 1982, IMAGE also provides high-quality data useful
for studies of geomagnetic induction and long-term geomagnetic activity in the
auroral region.
