The number of experiments is the highest so far under a five-year, $9.3 million grant awarded last year by the National Science Foundation to establish the Subauroral Geophysical Observatory at HAARP. The observatory’s purpose is the exploration of Earth’s upper atmosphere and geospace environment. “The October research campaign is our ...
Alaska has come close to the all-time cold record a few times. On Jan. 27, 1989, Galena registered at 70 below, McGrath 75 below, and Tanana 76 below. Weather observers Dick and Robin Hammond of Chicken, Alaska, recorded minus 72 degrees during their 8 a.m. thermometer check on Feb. 7, 2008.
The Space Weather Outlook is the forecast of geomagnetic activity in 27 days. NOAA updates the 27-Day Space Weather Outlook every Monday at 15:00 UTC. Highlighted in blue are 3-Day Forecast data overlaying the 27-Day Forecast. 3-Day Forecast data are updated daily and provides a more accurate forecast. Daily Geomagnetic Data every day at and ...
Alaska's Weather and Climate. November 30, 1981 / T. Neil Davis. The air mass that exists over Alaska and Yukon Territory is one of the world's most interesting because a lot of action takes place within it. High mountains, volcanoes, moist Pacific air, the cold Arctic ice pack, the aurora and even the airplanes on the transpolar air route all ...
Some attendees joined virtually on Zoom for two days of Arctic Weather Workshop presentations on 01-16-24 and 01-17-24. The meeting was streamed live from the Wood Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Fairbanks, Alaska, and was co-hosted by the UAF Geophysical Institute. Download the meeting agenda.

HAARP artificial airglow may be widely visible in Alaska. HAARP’s Ionospheric Research Instrument is a phased array of 180 high-frequency antennas spread across 33 acres. UAF/GI photo by JR Ancheta. This chart shows the approximate elevation angle per distance from HAARP a person will need to be at to observe the airglow.
For most people living in Alaska, January 1989 will be remembered as very cold. All four of our climatic zones felt the chill. Homer is a typical location in the maritime zone of southern Alaska, where the weather is usually moderated by the ocean. This time Homer had five days of new record low temperatures, and its lowest low during the cold ...
Interior Alaska has a few familiar but imperfect trends, according to meteorologist Jim Brader and hydrologist Eric Stevens, both of the National Weather Service office in Fairbanks: Southwest flow and wet Augusts : In spring 2002, the jet stream, a high-speed ribbon of air that belts the globe and carries weather systems, tilted northward.
The new system divides Alaska into fine grids and allows forecasters to add localized information that affects weather, such as the slope direction of hills. The new system allows weather service forecasters to produce maps of Alaska color-coded for temperature, wind speed, chance of precipitation and other weather variables, such as the size ...
