Kerguelen

KERGUELEN (49.22 S, 70.14 E)
The SuperDARN radar at Kerguelen was built by Jean-Paul Villain and colleagues from CNRS, France and saw first light in June, 2000. After the passing of Jean-Paul, Dr. Aurélie Marchaudon assumed the PI-ship of the Stokkseyri and Kerguelen radars in 2008.
Aurélie moved to IRAP (Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie) in 2012. Her full insititional affiliation is IRAP, CNRS, and IPEV
The PI insitutions for the radar are Centre National de La Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Institut Polaire Francais (IPEV).
Notes:
Beam Separation Sign: Northern hemisphere radars count beam 0 as the westernmost beam, which is the leftmost beam. Historically southern hemisphere radars did the same westernmost, which is the rightmost beam, meaning the beam separation would be negative. This is why the beam separation for KER is negative.
