Description

MImOSA gave the possibility to learn more about the actual capabilities of the South American countries to monitor and investigate the ionosphere, highlighting the dominant role of the largest countries, Brazil and Argentina, but also reporting an increasing interest in other countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Chile. MImOSA could result into a pilot project aiming to federate European and South American networks and individual instruments to monitor the southern and northern crests of the Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly and the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly.
