ocr: GENERAL INFORMATION INSTRUMENT NAME: ERNE - Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron experiment RESEARCH-IARGEIR - - - Continuous measurement of energetic par- ticle fluxes OPERATED BY: University of Turku COUNTRIES INVOLVED: Finland BUDGET: 8 MECU Manutacturing) 4 MECU Research) ERNE measures the fluxes of energetic particles originating in the Sun, in the heliosphere, and in the heart of the galaxy. These fluxes are used to study 1) energetic particle abundances revealing the chemical and iso- topic composition of the solar atmosphere and the local interstellar me- dium; 2) correlation ...
