About LOIS

LOIS aims at enhancing the atmospheric and space physics capabilities of the huge, new-generation digital radio telescope LOFAR (Low Frequency Array), currently being built in Netherlands and northwestern Germany, by providing a software configurable sensor and emittor infrastructure distributed in southern Sweden with Växjö as hub. Primary target areas for LOIS are solar physics, ionospheric physics, and space weather as well as large-scale sensor, radio, antenna, telecom, and IT research.
