FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER TSUNAMI DEBRIS<br />

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research<br />

Program ( HAARP) is an ionospheric research<br />

program jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the<br />

U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska, and the<br />

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency<br />

Built by BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT), its<br />

purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate<br />

the potential for developing ionospheric<br />

enhancement technology for radio communications<br />

and surveillance. [2] The HAARP program operates a<br />

major sub-arctic facility, named the HAARP<br />

Research Station, on an Air Force–owned site near<br />

Gakona, Alaska.<br />

The most prominent instrument at the HAARP<br />

Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI),<br />

a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility<br />

operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI<br />

is used to temporarily excite a limited area of the<br />

Ionosphere. Other instruments, such as a VHF and a<br />

UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde,<br />

and an induction magnetometer, are used to study<br />

the physical processes that occur in the excited<br />

region.<br />
