Description

EISCAT has operated high power large aperture radars for upper atmophere and near-Earth space studies since 1981, and has so far collected a dataset of about 100 TB.
At present, EISCAT is in the process of deploying EISCAT_3D, EISCAT's next generation imaging radar. EISCAT_3D data volumes and processing requirements will be more similar to those of high energy physics and radio astronomy, and we are evaluating Rucio for data management. EISCAT also leads two scientific use cases in the RI-SCALE project, where Rucio will be the basis of the Data Exploration Platform.
