South Pole Station
SOUTH POLE STATION (89.995 S, 118.291 E) The SuperDARN radar at South Pole Station began operations in January 2013. Dr. Bill Bristow is responsible for the operation of the South Pole Station radar. 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. However, when sps was setup, the leftmost beam is beam 0. This is why the beam separation is positive for sps.
