Astron
Astron is the Netherlands institute for radio astronomy. It houses operations of the LOFAR radio telescope. This instrument, with its core in the Netherlands, but with several stations distributed all over Europe, is capable of measuring small to medium scale structures in the ionosphere at high time resolution, as well as velocities of moving structures. In particular we offer amplitude scintillation data at VHF frequencies, between 20 and 240 MHz.
