School of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences
 TIGER Consortium

TIGER logo TIGER is a HF Radar facility consisting of two radars, one at Bruny Island, Tasmania, and one at Invercargill, New Zealand, with footprints that overlap over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.

The radars are used to map features in the ionosphere associated with the aurora and other high latitude space weather phenomena.

The TIGER project was initiated by Professor Peter Dyson in the Department of Physics and the radars were developed by Professor John Devlin in the Department of Electronic Engineering.

The TIGER radars are supported and operated by a consortium of university, government, and international partners and each organisation is represented by a Co-Investigator on the Scientific and Management Team.
