â¹500-crore space weather radar to be built in Arctic
An international collaboration is building "the world's most advanced space weather radar" in the Arctic. The Â£63 million (over â¹519 crore) facility, distributed across three sites in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, would be operational by 2021. It would help scientists understand how solar storms drive atmosphere and near-Earth space weather, which affects technology and society, said EISCAT.
