SuperDARN Real-time Data 
Many of the radars in the SuperDARN network provide a real-time data
stream. Nigel Wade from the
University of Leicester, with help from
Lasse Clausen from
Virginia Tech,
has developed a Java application that
allows users to see the real-time data in various ways.
- You will need Java version 6 to run this application. To check

It is possible to see the real-time data for a particular beam of a
given radar over the past 24-hours as a range-time-intensity (RTI)
