Select date and radar for download of FITACF 2.5 files. Data is available for radars that are managed by SuperDARN Canada. The form requires a date input in the format of YYYY-MM-DD and a selected radar. The file naming convention is YYYYMMDD.hhmm.ss.(radar code).fitacf.bz2, for more information on using the FITACF 2.5 files, see our Data Products page or the FITACF documentation.
Borealis data is currently unavailable.
The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is a made up of 36 radars and 20 institutions, to cite general SuperDARN you can use:

During your study, if using data from individual radars only, please contact the Principal Investigator (PI) of that radar about potential co-authorship. A list of radars, institutions, and their PI's information can be found here.
For SuperDARN Canada managed radars (Saskatoon, Rankin Inlet, Inuvik, Clyde River, and Prince George), contact Dr. Kathryn McWilliams of the University of Saskatchewan.
SuperDARN is in the process of placing DOI's on their data set. In the meantime, please use any local available services, such as zenodo or FRDR, to DOI your data set.
