TREx Blueline#

TREx-Blueline is part of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Transition Region Explorer (TREx) sensor web. TREx-Blueline is a network of narrow-band filtered (427.8nm) ASIs strategically deployed to bracket the ionospheric footprint of the Nightside Transition Region (NTR). TREx-Blueline nominally records 3s images but is capable of burst mode acquisition up to 10Hz.
