The Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (RSTO) was established at Birr Castle in the midlands of Ireland to study solar activity and space weather effects on the Earth's ionosphere and geomagnetic field. A set of solar radio spectrometers based on CALLISTO receivers monitor the Sun at 10-400 MHz, while a magnetometer is used to measure the local geomagnetic field and associated K-index. In addition, the ionosphere is monitored using a sudden ionospheric disturbance instrument. All data are provided in near-realtime at www.rosseobservatory.ie.
