High Altitude Research Laboratory (HARL) is a research laboratory located at Gulmarg, India.[1]
History
The laboratory was established in 1954, jointly by
geomagnetism, and atmospheric neutron monitoring. It was formally opened on 4 April 1954.[2]
In 1963, the laboratory became a constituent part of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre[3] and it is managed by BARC's Astrophysical Sciences Division (ASD).[4]
In 1974, to assist HARL in executing different research projects in the field of
Research & development
Gulmarg observatory
Since 1977, the Gulmarg Observatory is in operation. It was established to study the geomagnetic field near the center of the ionospheric Sq current system to fill a gap in the chain of magnetic observatories between India and the erstwhile Soviet Union.[6]
