Green Bank Solar Radio Burst Spectrometer

GB Solar Radio Burst Spectrometer Antenna

The Green Bank Solar Radio Burst Spectrometer (GBSRBS) provides dynamic spectra of solar radio bursts during daylight hours in the western hemisphere. Taking advantage of the low radio interference environment in the National Radio Quiet Zone around the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Green Bank site in West Virginia, it is intended to fulfil a need for publicly-available research-quality dynamic spectra in the time range from 12 to 24 hours UT.
