Nice crops at the #Eiscat_3D site 🧑‍🌾
Picture from today’s excursion with the EISCAT symposium in Tromsø. Soon these 10,000 antennas, along with similar fields in Finland and Sweden, will give detailed 3D views of the #ionosphere

💬 "Providing high-performance infrastructure targeted at research needs is what NRENs are all about”, says Lars Fischer, Chief Relations Officer at NORDUnet. “Supporting the EISCAT_3D instrument and seeing the impact of advanced networking in a dedicated, multi-year collaboration of NRENs, EISCAT Scientific Association and researchers has been a unique experience.”

Nordic NRENs #FUNET, @sunet & #Sikt continue the progress towards "Terabit to the Tundra".
Today the optical networks of Sikt and FUNET were interconnected at Skibotn (70' north).
Next step: deliver 4 Tbps network to #EISCAT_3D, a next-generation incoherent scatter radar system, will significantly improve its data handling and transfer capabilities, benefiting scientists studying the Earth's upper atmosphere and near-Earth space in the region.. 🌍🔬 #Connectivity #Science #ArcticResearch #NORDUnet
