      We describe our citizen science approach and technologies designed to introduce students in upper secondary schools to computational thinking and engineering. Using an Arduino microcontroller and low-cost sensors we have developed the air:bit, a programmable sensor kit that students build and program to collect air quality data. In our course, students develop their own research questions regarding ...
    • Plasma line studies in relation to Naturally Enhanced Ion Acoustic Lines (NEIALs) 

      Knutsen, Joachim Sveia (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-02)
      New to the ESR common programmes is the inclusion of plasma lines along with the standard ion power density spectrum. Using data from the IPY common programme, a programme that has been run all through the International Polar Year, we have gone through large amounts of analysed data trying to find periods in time that fulfils the known criteria for finding Naturally Enhanced Ion Acoustic Lines ...
