Ground-based infrastructure for improved space weather specification at low latitudes
A notional deployment of a heterogeneous network of ground-based instrumentation is proposed. The scientific rationale for the deployment is to gain a comprehensive suite of measurements pertinent to improving our understanding of the longitudinal variability in the equatorial and low-latitude ionosphere/thermosphere system and the irregularities that can exist, therein.
