Introduction
The Space Weather and Ionosphere (SW&I) Laboratory at SAASST focuses on research related to ionospheric variability driven by solar and space weather phenomena, particularly over the Arabian Peninsula. The laboratory monitors and models ionospheric conditions using ground- and space-based instruments. The SW&I group aims to serve as the UAE’s leading research hub for space weather and ionospheric studies, fostering national and international collaborations and promoting scientific knowledge within the local community.
