Description
Summary:observatories devoted to measurements of geospace parameters which are important in the field of ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling. The AGONET program is conducted under the auspices of the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research, an body of ICSU, the International Council of Scientific Unions, like SCOSTEP and COSPAR. SCAR full members are 25 national committees, 7 ICSU members and 7 associate members. AGONET was proposed to SCAR at the XXI meeting in Sao Paulo, in 1990, (Dudeney, 1990) and was endorsed formally in a recommendation to the international scientific community involved in Antarctica; support of the deployment of instruments and collection of data was requested from the participating bodies in each country. The AGONET program is managed by the STAR Working Group (Solar-Terrestrial and Astrophysical Research) of SCAR (see web site
