AGATA – A new SCAR Programme Planning Group
The Antarctic Geospace and ATmosphere reseArch (AGATA) Programme Planning Group is a coordinated, worldwide effort to monitor, investigate and better understand the physics of the polar atmosphere and the impact of the Sun-Earth interactions on the polar regions.

The Antarctic Geospace and ATmosphere reseArch (AGATA) Programme Planning Group is a coordinated, worldwide effort to monitor, investigate and better understand the physics of the polar atmosphere and the impact of the Sun-Earth interactions on the polar regions. It is endorsed by SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research). If successful, AGATA will establish a new Research Programme representing the geospace and the polar atmosphere sciences within SCAR after more than 10 years of lack of similar topics (https://www.scar.org/science/agata/home/). AGATA ambition is to contribute to answering the outstanding scientific questions within atmospheric and space physics: · How are different atmospheric layers coupled in the polar regions? · How does the upper polar atmosphere respond to increased geomagnetic activity, including energy transfer from space into the ionosphere? · How can we improve the understanding of the Antarctic atmosphere by radio signals from the GNSS or other satellites, and from ground-based radars? AGATA was proposed by experts coming from 40 international institutions, taking advantage of existing and planned instrumentation in Antarctica and in the Arctic and satellite-based observations, and it aims to coordinate research efforts and data exchange. This bi-polar perspective allows the study of significant interhemispheric asymmetries in the atmospheric response observed in the polar regions.
