STORM SIGNALS

From Observatories:

Ground-based radio antennas at the University of Florida and within the RadioJOVE network give you an excellent opportunity to compare the results from your radio antenna with people using the same equipment you have. However, whether you build your own radio telescope or not, you can use observations from various ground-based observatories around the world to test predictions that there are sunspots that might produce solar storms.

The observatory that is easiest to use is the professional observatory at the University of Florida. That is the data to watch if you are just Getting Started. If you want to make More Advanced Observations and research storms that have already happened, the RadioJove Archives are easy to use and need no more than a web browser and computer. If you wish to really get involved with observers in the RadioJOVE network, comparing data from several sources at once and having on-line chats with the observers running the stations, you should download the Skypipe software (Windows operating systems only, however, this does include virtual PC platforms on Macs).
