MACCS (Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies)

• (From the introductory article of MACCS by Hughes and Engebretson) ``The Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies (MACCS) is a high latitude array of 8 high time resolution magnetometers supplemented with high time resolution data from 4 standard observatories in northeastern Canada. The array was installed between August 1992 and August 1995 and is run cooperatively by Boston University and Augsburg College with assistance from the Geological Survey of Canada and the University of Alberta. Data is collected at either 1 or 2 samples per second at a sensitivity sufficient to observe Pc 1-2 pulsations. MACCS can be used to study high latitude ionospheric convection currents, substorm currents, and ULF waves.''
