Non-maxwellian Ion Velocity Distributions Observed Using Eiscat
Recent observations from the EISCAT neutral thermal speed. However, for larger incoherent scatter radar have revealed bursts of drifts the distribution function is predicted to poleward ion flow in the dayside auroral ionosbe highly non-Maxwellian and takes the form of a phere which are consistent with the ionospheric torus in velocity space (symmetric about the signature of flux transfer event...
متن کاملEISCAT and ESRAD radars observations of polar mesosphere
Polar mesosphere winter echoes (PMWE) were detected by two radars, ESRAD at 52 MHz located near Kiruna, Sweden, and EISCAT at 224 MHz located near Tromsø, Norway, during the strong solar proton event on 11–12 November 2004. PMWE maximum volume reflectivity was estimated to be 3× 10−15 m−1 for ESRAD and 2×10−18 m−1 for EISCAT. It was found that the shape of the echo power spectrum is close to Ga...
متن کاملDeriving the normalised ion-neutral collision frequency from EISCAT observations
Common programme observations by the EISCAT UHF radar revealed an extended interval, post geomagnetic local noon on 03 April 1992, during which the F-region ion velocity orthogonal to the geomagnetic ®eld was signi®cantly enhanced, to values exceeding 2 km s corresponding to a perpendicular electric ®eld of some 100 mV m. Observations from this interval are used to illustrate a method by which ...
متن کاملA comparison of velocity measurements from the CUTLASS Finland radar and the EISCAT UHF system
The CUTLASS Finland radar, which comprises an integral part of the SuperDARN system of HF coherent radars, provides near continuous observations of high-latitude plasma irregularities within a ®eld-ofview which extends over some four million square kilometres. Within the Finland radar ®eld-of-view lie both the EISCAT mainland and EISCAT Svalbard incoherent scatter radar facilities. Since the CU...
متن کاملGround Clutter Cancellation in Incoherent Radars: Solutions for Eiscat Svalbard Radar
Incoherent scatter radars measure ionosphere parameters using modi®ed Thomson scatter from free electrons in the target (see e.g. Hagfors, 1997). The integrated cross section of the ionospheric scatterers is extremely small and the measurements can easily be disturbed by signals returned by unwanted targets. Ground clutter signals, entering via the antenna side lobes, can render measurements at...
