Space Weather Monitoring at 12 GHz

Project Team: Urpo, Puhakka, Oinaskallio

A new radio telescope system with an 1.8 meter diameter dish was constructed. It is used to continuous monitoring of solar radiation at 12 GHz. The beamwidth of the telescope is so wide that whole solar disk is covered. All solar radio events starting from intensities of a few Solar Flux Units will be detected. Experimental operation started in August 2000 and continued to the end of the year. About 30 strong events were measured in addition to numerous small events.
