We are looking to recruit three Research Fellows, each for 34 months, funded by the Space Weather Instrumentation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk (SWIMMR) programme. SWIMMR is a £20 million, three-year programme that will improve the UK’s capabilities for space weather monitoring and prediction with an emphasis on space radiation, changes in the upper atmosphere and, […]
It was time the SERENE groups webpage got a complete overall. So here we go. On the site you will be able to find out more details about our research, details of who works at SERENE, our latest papers to read and download, and (eventually) get your hands on our upper atmosphere data assimilation model […]
With the ongoing uncertainties around the current COVID-19 pandemic, and now with concerns regarding second and third peaks in some countries, it has been decided to postpone the 17th European Space Weather Week (ESWW17/ESWW2020) to 25 – 29 October 2021. Therefore, the 17th European Space Weather Week will now be known as ESWW2021. The Programme […]
Flow channel events have previously been observed breaking up polar cap patches on the dayside ionosphere but, to the best of our knowledge, have not been observed on the nightside. We report observations of a flow channel event in the evening of the 9th January 2019 under quiet geomagnetic conditions. This multi-instrument study was undertaken […]
This paper presents the results from one of the first observations of ionospheric scintillation taken using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). The observation was of the strong natural radio source Cassiopeia A, taken overnight on 18 – 19 August 2013, and exhibited moderately strong scattering effects in dynamic spectra of intensity received across an observing bandwidth […]
As of today (March 20th), starting at 1700, the University of Birmingham has moved to a restricted campus operation model. During this time the majority of University staff will be required to work remotely and only essential staff will be on campus. All events scheduled on campus involving external visitors from 23 March will be […]
Luke attended the UK URSI Festival of Radio Science meeting at the University of Manchester today, presenting his paper: “Forecasting of low-latitude ionospheric scintillation using a physics-based model” His talk went very well and he was awarded a Best Paper Prize from the conference. Congratulations Luke! Abstract Determining the rate of change of the virtual […]
