Abstract
We present a short review of research using “Sura,” a multipurpose radio facility of the Radiophysical Research Institute of Nizhny Novgorod, which is aimed at studying space, the atmosphere, the Earth’s crust, and radio wave propagation and at developing new methods for diagnostics and monitoring of the environment.
