INAG is Working Group 1 of URSI Commission G and is responsible for:

  • collecting together information on the analysis of ionograms,
  • maintaining conventions for the reduction of ionograms,
  • providing a forum for people interested in obtaining reliable data from ionograms,
  • preserving the Global ionospheric climate record.

The INAG Bulletin is one of the more important outputs of INAG. This Web site has become an extension of the Bulletin. In addition, there are a number of other useful reference publications that are reproduced here for wider distribution.
