Martin Brendel, at Bossekop on 5.1.1892. Archive: Verdensarvsenter for bergkunst \u2013 Alta Museum (VAM).\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By the start of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, Alta had proved it\u2019s worth as location for auroral research, and after intermittent research expeditions and auroral observations in the region (the oldest surviving photo of the Aurora was also taken at Bossekop by a German expedition scientist, Martin Brendel, on 5.1.1892.), in 1910 Kristian Birkeland persuaded the Norwegian government to set up a (world&#8217;s first!) permanent auroral observatory in Haldde, Alta. A major argument for setting up the observatory was that the scientific work there could aid in weather forecasting benefiting especially the local people dependent on fishing.<\/p>\n<p>The observatory at Haldde was in use from 1912 to 1926. In 1918 the Geophysical Institute in Troms\u00f8 was established, and the Haldde observatory was put under its supervision, until in 1928 the operations were fully moved to Troms\u00f8, at a newly established auroral observatory funded by the Rockefeller foundation. In 1968 this observatory became part of the newly established University of Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the years, vast amounts of research related to the aurora has been conducted at the observatory, including work to determine the auroral altitude and spectrum, along with a variety of geomagnetic and ionospheric studies. Today this observatory, now called the Troms\u00f8 Geophysical Observatory, is reponsible for long-term observations operating, amongst other things, a chain of a total of 19 magnetometers across mainland Norway, Sweden and Barents Sea, together with ionosondes, riometers and all-sky cameras.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the Norwegian Centre for Space Weather (NOSWE) was established under TGO to provide situational awareness and act as the contact point for, most importantly, government directorates and industries in issues concerning space weather, but also for the general public with related questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Partners<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n<br \/>\n<strong>Stakeholders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.uit.no\/startsida\" target=\"&quot;_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3551\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/spaceweather\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/194\/2019\/07\/Navnetrekk_engelsk.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"35\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tgo.uit.no\/\" target=\"&quot;_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2752\" src=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/spaceweather\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/194\/2018\/02\/uit-norges-arktiske-universitet.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"46\" height=\"45\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/spaceweather\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/194\/2018\/02\/uit-norges-arktiske-universitet.png 300w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/spaceweather\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/194\/2018\/02\/uit-norges-arktiske-universitet-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/site.uit.no\/spaceweather\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/194\/2018\/02\/uit-norges-arktiske-universitet-268x268.png 268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 46px) 100vw, 46px\" \/><\/a> Troms\u00f8 Geophysical Observatory at UiT &#8211;
