CGSM is funded primarily by the Canadian Space Agency, and consists of networks of imagers, meridian scanning photometers, riometers, magnetometers, digital ionosondes, and High Frequency SuperDARN radars. The overarching objective of CGSM is to provide synoptic observations of the spatio-temporal evolution of the ionospheric thermodynamics and electrodynamics at auroral and polar latitudes over a large region of Canada. 3, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Geospace%20Monitoring

The field rate of 60 Hz is the vertical scanning frequency. This is the rate at which the electron beam completes its cycles of vertical motion, from top to bottom and back to top again. Therefore, vertical deflection circuits for either the camera tube or the picture tube operate at 60 Hz. The time of each vertical scanning cycle for one field is 1/60 s. 1, record 3, English, - vertical%20scanning%20frequency

La fréquence de balayage vertical est égale à la fréquence de trame, soit 60 Hz. C'est la fréquence à laquelle le faisceau électronique accomplit ses cycles de mouvement vertical de haut en bas et de retour en haut. Par conséquent, les circuits de déviation verticale du tube analyseur et du tube image fonctionnent à la fréquence de 60 Hz. La période de chaque cycle de balayage vertical d'une trame est de 1/60 s. 1, record 3, French, - fr%C3%A9quence%20de%20balayage%20vertical

The Culgoora radioheliograph, commissioned in 1967, was initially designed to operate at a frequency of 80 MHz. Scanning a north-south line of points across a field of view of approximately 2 E-W X 1. 6 N-S yields a two-dimensional image of the solar corona once per second.(...) Here we report the addition of a second operating frequency, 160 MHz, for the radioheliograph and work in progress to add a third frequency, 43. 25 MHz. 1, record 6, English, - radioheliograph
